Hi,

I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

From your notes it appears that you have developed fungal infection. I suggest that you consult dermatologist so that you can get optimum treatment.
After confirming that it is fungal infection, they would prescribe Fluconazole tablets and ointment.
I hope this helps.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.

From the picture it appears that it could be fungal infection.
Take a tablet of Fluconazole 150mg single dose.
Use Miconazole ointment locally twice daily for 7 days.

If the itching is severe in addition use antihistamine tablet at night for three days.
If no improvement, consult Dermatologist.

Best wishes,
