Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It's looking like a chronic inflammation probably secondary to fungal infection.
I treat such cases with a combination of a mild steroid and an antifungal cream.
You can try clotrimazole cream in morning and cortisone cream in night daily for two weeks.
These are safe and effective.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
