Hello dear,my name is dr,Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
Symtoms of fungal infection include:
-Peeling, cracking, and scaling of the skin
-Redness, blisters, or softening and breaking down of the skin
-Itching, burning, or both
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-use topical antifungal medication like mycoster cream
-Wash and dry the affected area with a clean towel
-Change clothes especially underwear everyday
-Try not to scrach the area
-in some cases oral medication is needed like fluconasole 150mg
