Thank you for the query.
I have reviewed the images.

Seems like you have got a fungal infection. You may try a topical antifungal e.g Clotrimazole cream, twice daily for a few days.

Take care.

Brief Answer:
yeast infection. Use an antifungal cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
You may try a topical antifungal e.g either clotrimazole 1% cream or ketoconazole 2% cream, twice daily for a few days. The cream you mentioned is a steroid cream rather than antifungal cream.
Take care
