Brief Answer:
Betadine ointment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I read your query and I understand your concerns
Following is my reply
1. This appears to be bacterial infection and not fungal.
2. She is already on antibiotics which takes care of this infection to a certain extent.
3. But as I can see local irritation is still there.
4. Ask her not to touch the inflamed area or scratch it.
5. As of now apply ointment Betadine locally after washing the area once in morning and night.
6. In 4 to 5 days this should start healing.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
