Hi
Welcome to HCM

I have gone through your query, it is impossible to say what it is without examination and with the information provided by you.

So presently I would not advice you any medication, as it won't be appropriate.

Kindly upload picture for better assessment.
I'll be glad to help you.

Take care

Brief Answer:
Fungal infection, apply candid cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Good to hear from you

I have gone through the picture and I have deduced that it is a fungal infection as it is there since two months.

I would have treated you with candid cream for local application, applied twice daily for 15 days. I would advise you not to scratch and keep the affected part clean and dry. Keep the area sweat free. Use loose cotton garments.

If it persists past 15 days, I would suggest you to see dermatologist for further evaluation.

Hope this helps take care.
