Hello,
Thanks for the query.
this appears like a fungal infection.
bacterial infections are usually not associated with itch.
you can apply oint clotrimazole.
this should give you some relief.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
