It might be fungal infection. You can use topical antifungal agents like clotrimazole cream which is also available in combination with topical steroids like betamethason which is helpful if swelling, itching and reddness also present. You may go for oral therapy with fluconazole along with this. Its advisable to maintain proper hygein and keep area dry to avoid future recurrence.
