Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.

It seems that you have got fungal infection of the part due to unhygienic condition.
In such cases, once diagnosis is confirmed, i usually advise my patients to take tab fluconazole weekly for atleast 2 weeks.
Alongwith topical antifungals like miconazole/sertraconazole are advised.
Dont use dettol or harsh chemical over the area.

Keep the area clean and dry.

As per details, this is my best advise for you. You may discuss this with your doctor. I am sure he/she will agree with my opinion.
Stay healthy.
