Brief Answer:
terbinafine

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
The area is looking very inflamed.
Candid is helpful but oral therapy will be much better.
I usually prescribe tablet terbinafine in such condition and have seen good response.
Also take an oral antibiotic to prevent development of secondary infection.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
