Hello,
Most probably it will be a superficial fungal infection.
As a first line management, you can apply topical antifungal like clotrimazole for symptomatic relief.
You can also take antihistamines like Pheniramine for itching.
It symptoms persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
