Hi,
It may be a fungal infection. As a first line management you can apply topical antifungal/steroid combination like Clotrimazole/Betamethasone combination for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
