Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
What you are describing seems like a fungal infection. Apply an over the counter anti fungal cream for 2 weeks, twice per day. If not better then it may be an eczema and you should use a steroid cream for 2 weeks. Let me see a photo to confirm if possible. Feel free to follow up with me for further advises if needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Klarida Papaqako
