According to your history it seems to be a case of fungal (yeast) infection. If it is recurring you need to undergo blood sugar tests. moininstat cream is not the right treatment for this infection. You need to apply some good antifungal cream and keep the area as dry as possible.Also avoid using soap on this area.
