Brief Answer:
Hydrocortisone, clotrimazole, fusidic acid

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
From your description and picture I can think of two possibilities:
1. Allergic/ Irritant contact dermatitis
2. Seborrheic dermatitis

Though definitive diagnosis rests upon actual clinical examination, I would still like to layout treatment plan for you.
Apply cream containing Hydrocortisone, Clotrimazole and fusidic acid twice a day for 10 days.( Incase you dont get the combination, get individual medications and mix and apply as advised)
I am sure this treatment will benefit you.
Revert me back regarding your condition after 10 days.
Thank you
Dr Hardik Pitroda
