Hi,
It seems that there might be having eczematous dermatitis and now having super added with bacterial infection.
Firstly you might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days to control infection.
Continue applying topical cream after proper cleaning.
Take Benadryl or Cetrizine to stop itching.
Wear cotton and well fitted bra.
Ok and take care.
