Brief Answer:
Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photographs.
It's looking like a fungal infection.
I treat such cases with a topical antifungal cream such as clotrimazole to be applied twice a day.
It is safe and effective and gives good results within two weeks.
You can try this in consultation with your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
