Brief Answer:
Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photograph.
It is looking like a fungal infection.
I treat such cases with a mild steroid cream like cortisone to be applied in night and an antifungal cream like clotrimazole to be applied in morning.
This combination works well.
Try this for two weeks.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
