Brief Answer:
Clotrimazole and tretinoin
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is appearing like a stretch mark which has developed fungal infection.
I treat such cases with topical clotrimazole ointment twice daily and oral capsule vitamin E.
Once the redness decreases you can apply ointment tretinoin in night and aloe Vera in morning.
This should take care of stretch marks.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
