Brief Answer:
It can be fungal infection most likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to fungal infection. If you send a picture of the affected area it will be more helpful in identifying.
For such condition I would suggest using anti fungal creams like miconazole or terbinafine ( lamisil ) for local application.
Avoid using lotion on the area. Avoid soaps and irritants also to wash the area. You can use just warm water or saline.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
