Brief Answer:
Topical anti fungal & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
I would recommend you to apply topical anti fungal like clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
Also keep the area dry and clean and wash with plain water.
