Hi.
First of all stop the betamethasone cream as it only masks the original problem.
Get a proper diagnosis by consultation with a Dermatologist.
The probable diagnosis is a fungal infection as per the site. This is the most common cause.
You may need oral Fluconazole tablets- the dose duration will be decided by the Dermatologist.
Apply pure anti-fungal skin lotion.
