Get evaluated: Your doctor can help you. They will do what we can't thru the internet: first perform a visual inspection; digital exam after taking your history as to circumstances, duration, quality, timing of symptoms ; your risk factors. They may then determine topical treatment or ask to perform further evaluation. Problem may be dermatologic, infectious/fungal, inflammatory, functional, etc.
