Hello dear I understand your concern Your symptoms could be due to fungal infection, contact/allergic dermatitis. I would suggest to consult dermatologist for examination and take proper treatment. Following treatment will help you For fungal infection: oral fluconazole, application of clotrimazole ointment Keep area clean and dry and maintain proper pelvic hygiene Wear pure cotton padded bra. Avoid sweating in affected area For dermatitis: Continue to apply bacitracin Application of bacitracin and mild steroid application for week Tablet levoctrizine at bed time Drink plenty of water and eat healthy diet Hope this may help you
