Brief Answer:
Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like fungal infection.
Usually fungal infections are itchy but can present even without that.
I treat such cases with ointment clotrimazole to be applied twice daily for two weeks.
It is safe and effective.
You can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
