Brief Answer:
This is due to bacterial infectial

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for the prompt response.

Its due to bacterial infection especially due to lack of aeration.Definitely not thrush. I would treat you with topical antibiotic cream Fusiwal (Fusidic acid 2% cream) which is available over the counter twice daily for 5 days after bath.

Keep the area dry.

Hope this answers your query.Nothing to panic. Get well soon.
