Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed fungal infection.
I treat such cases with a combination of oral and topical antifungal medication.
A combination of oral fluconazole tablet weekly and ointment clotrimazole to be applied twice daily for a month works well.
I find this answer helpful
