Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to Healthcare magic
I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone to your query.
I would keep a possibility of fungal infection though I would be more sure about my diagnosis if you could upload a clear digital Image of the area of concern.
You could apply topical OTC antifungal cream for example clotrimazole cream twice daily for 4-6weeks.
Oral cetrizine 10 mg once daily.
Antifungal dusting powder can be used to keep the folds dry and prevent recurrence.
Regards
