Brief Answer:
Precautions advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting us with your health concerns

This is a chronic reaction to long term use of various combinations of antifungals and steroid ointments basically with off and on scratching I think.
In my opinion donot apply anything on this except aloe Vera and vitamin E combination
See the response after 2 weeks and in case there is no improvement visit a dermatologist for allergy testing
Second most common cause for such a lesion is sensitivity to some particular food item.
