1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily. 2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days . 4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine given only after consulting a dermatologist.
