Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

Seems it is most likely a fungal infection. Fungal infection is dark or red, itchy and scaly. I suggest you try a topical antifungal e.g. either clotrimazole cream or ketoconazole cream. In addition, you may take an oral antihistamine e.g. cetirizine tablet for symptomatic relief from itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S., Dermatologist
