Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
It looks like a fungal infections, as these area are very moist which predisposes the growth of fungus and produces the symptoms.
As you getting these symptoms frequently, you require physical examination to confirm the presence of fungal infection before starting the treatment.
I would suggest you to
1.Keep that area clean and dry
2. Topical Antifungal cream
3.Oral Antifungal drugs, once a week for at least 2 months.
You can get these medicine by getting the prescription from your doctor. Your condition will improve with these remedies.
Thank you.
