Brief Answer:
TRy miconazole cream for one week!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for uploading the images.

I have reviewed both of them. This is bot too typical but put together with the information provided, this is suggestive of a possible fungal infection. Treatment is very safe and cheap as well. I will recommend that you apply miconazole 2% cream daily after baths for ten days. If our diagnosis is correct, then there would be no more symptoms. Should it fail to address this condition, then I will recommend further evaluation by your primary care doctor.

I hope this is guiding enough. Keep me updated.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
