You may apply candid (clotrimazole) lotion over the affected area. The lymph node enlargement indicates localised infection so it is really hard to comment without examining. Moreover, it has to be evaluated if oral antifungals like griseofulvin need to given, and if so for how long. You may try the topical lotion but I would strongly insist that you get it examined by a doctor.
