General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello there I have read through your question and would like to tell you that most likely it's fungal infection. If you could attach a picture of the affected area it would be more convenient to diagnose. I would advise you to get it checked by a skin specialist. He may prescribe you an antifungal and steroid combination to treat the condition. He may also prescribe you an oral antifungal regime like flucanazole for a few weeks. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
