Brief Answer:
Confirm fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for the follow up question.

It looks indeed like a fungal infection.

I recommend to take ketoconazole 2% cream and apply twice per day for until it resolves and one week after it. It should take one week to resolve. Apply thick layer, stay one hour without underwear or lose ones so it gets absorbed, apply at least 2 mm around the ring.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
