I can understand your concern for fungal infection. You have not told us your age and any other problem such as diabetes.
Fungal infection of the skin is quite common in this hot weather and the further spread of infection to nearby of other parts.
To prevent the further spread maintain good hygiene by taking two times bath, wearing cotton clothes and change of clothes two times. You can also use nay good medicated antiperspirant powder. Stay away from hot and humid climate.
You can use clotrimazole cream or terbinafine cream locally over the affected areas and take tablet terbinafine by mouth for 14 days under dermatological supervision.
Take care.
