it is seemed to me fungal infection as the area is fungal prone beause of contact with water every day
can consult deratologist to be sure
i advice to start with fluconazole 150 mg once a wk for 4-6 week
if infection occurs use antibiotic short course may be minocycline best for skin
use antifungalointment and powders for long
keep dry or airy no undergarments or loose
use non greesy non fatty food
lot of warm water for increasing uimmunity
