Hello
Welcome to HCM

Your history and symptoms are suggesting of fungal infection. These infection are more common in this area as they are the normal comensals , which arekept under control by helpful organisms.

Whenever there is change in environment these will multiply and produces the symptoms.

I would suggest you to follow
1. keep the area clean and dry by applying neosporin powder.
2. Apply anti fungal cream.
3.Take single dose of Tab Diflucan 150 mg.
4. Take oral antihistamines.
Thank you.
