The lesions can occur because of crusting as a result of poor hygiene. Poor hygiene can result in accumulation of keratin leading to crusting.Dry to clean the affected area with water at least twice in a day.Topical mild steroid cream like mometasone can be applied over the affected area if the crusting is too much. Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
