Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed fungal infection.
Most probably candida infection.
Please get a KOH mount done,
This can confirm the fungal etiology.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
You might have developed an allergic reaction to any component of cream,
Use an anti fungal powder,
You may get relief with that.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
