Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
From what you have described, it looks like you are suffering from a
fungal infection. Don't worry as it is completely curable.
Potent anti-fungal medicines are available which will help you get rid of it.
If I were your treating doctor, I'd would -
1. Ask you to take an anti fungal tablet
2. Ask to apply anti fungal cream over it twice daily for 10 days
3. Ask you to keep the area completely dry, even while bathing.
4. Reassure you that it will be cured, even though it may take a week or so or
may require a change of anti fungal cream or addition of a
steroid.
5. You may also require a anti-histaminic tablet like
cetrizine if the itching it troubling you.
Hope I've solved your query. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.
Regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
