Brief Answer:
Fungal infection likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for reply.
The appearance is typical of superficial fungal infection,though the location is not typical.Anyhow,this can happen with recurrent and prolonged exposure to warmth and moisture.
You can apply 1% clotrimazole cream twice daily for 1 week.If it comes down,continue application for a total of 6-8 weeks(even if it is cleared completely).Otherwise,if it persists,kindly see a dermatologist for direct evaluation.
Meanwhile,keep the area as clean and dry as possible.Moisture and warmth promotes fungal growth.
Hope this will answer your query.
Wishing you good health.
Thank you.
