Hello,
It could be a fungal infection like tinea. As first line management, you can apply topical antifungal like clotrimazole ointment for symptomatic relief.
You can continue Benadryl for itching. If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
