Hi,
I understand your concern.
With most probability, it should be a fungal ring as is described by you rightly that Candid B helps you.
I would suggest you to take more precautions than just applying the cream.
1. You should keep the area very dry. And should wear the clothes which don't irritate the area neither rub against it.
2. In the given conditions, you apply the same cream for 10 days regularly and see the result.
If it doesn't help, you can revert back to me with more details and possibly some pictures.
Regards
