Brief Answer: fungal infection, acne Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the query and photographs. Probably you have developed a fungal infection. The second photograph shows acne. For fungal infection you can apply clotrimazole cream. Also take anti histamine tablet. For acne you can apply clindamycin ointment in day and adapalene cream in night. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you

Brief Answer: Localized rash Detailed Answer: Hello Food allergies are usually generalized. They present with rash all over body and not on a localized part. Both allergies and fungal infections present in same way but in fungal infection itchy rash is limited to a particular part of body. Apply ointment clodid b ( clotrimazole) for 15 days.
