Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
From the description described by you ,it appears that you are suffering from fungal infection.
Treatment involves local application of antifungal oint CLOTRIMAZOLE twice a day for 2 weeks.
In case you don't find improvement,then you would have to consult a doctor for examination and treatment.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
