Brief Answer:
Keep the area clean and dry. Use clotrimazole powder.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

It could occur due to a problem called seborrhoeic dermatitis. It is basically a fungal infection. The solution could be:
* Apply Candid (clotrimazole) powder topically.
* Apply some moisturizing lotion like Aloe vera lotion topically.
