Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be dirt accumulation and secondary fungal , bacterial infection. You can clean the area with warm saline , antiseptic like chlorhexidine and apply ointments with combination of antifungal like terbinafine , antibiotic like ofloxacin & ornidazole and corticosteroid like clobetasol. Always keep the are dry also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
