Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
It is looking like fungal infection.
I treat such cases with a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole.
It is safe and effective and gives good responses within two weeks.
You can try this in consultation with your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
