Brief Answer: Clotrimazole powder Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for the query, The area of belly folds is very moist and is prone to develop fungal infections. Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical anti fungals. Various anti fungal powders like clotrimazole dusting powder are available.
