Brief Answer:
Can apply persol forte

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service,

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can try sulfur lotion over the area. If sulfur lotion is not available then persol forte can be tried. Apply it over affected area overnight and rinse it off in the morning.

Another option is kojivit cream.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
