Brief Answer:
Seems to be fungal infection, sertaconazole cream & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
Both your issues seem to be fungal infection.
I would recommend you to apply antifungal cream like sertaconazole cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once daily at bedtime for 7-10 days.
This should resolve your problem.
