Brief Answer:
Seems to be yeast infection, can extend azithromycin treatment

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it could be a yeast infection.
You can apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime.
You can extend your azithromycin tablet for 8 days.
