Brief Answer:
Oral and topical antifungals

Detailed Answer:
Thank you.

Yes it is a fungal infection.
I suggest you to take an oral antifungal e.g Capsule Itrasys 200mg (contains itraconazole) once daily for 2 weeks.
Topically you may apoly an antifungal cream e.g Lulifin cream, twice daily.
I also suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g tab cetrizine 10mg for symptomatic relief from itching.
These are all prescription medications therefore you must visit a dermatologist in person.
