Hello
With your history, I can say a fungal infection is possibly occurred... firstly avoid steroidal creams like betnovate and combination creams which has steroid in them available OTC... moreover steroid creams damage the skin and prolong the treatment... fungal infection are simple ... if treatment given properly and following do’s and don’ts advised by dermatologist the problem is solved ... but any deviation from the above said things will lead to repeated infection
Next Steps
Online Consultation with pictures will help in better understanding and correct treatment
Health Tips
Take shower twice a day... keep the body dry.... use loose, comfortable clothes... don’t reuse clothes and innerwear...
consult me online through practo for further management
Take care
