The use of steroid-containing creams like dermicut 5 is the reason why the skin in the area has become thin and bleeds easily. Such creams should not be applied.
If you are still using it, please stop.
For the fungal infection, you should take antifungals prescribed by a certified dermatologist and simultaneously improve your hygiene.
You should wear cotton garments since they allow good breathing of the skin and avoid synthetic fabrics and jeans. The clothes worn should be washed before the next use and bathing should be done everyday. Do not share clothes with others as this can cause spread of infection.
