You can get anti-fungal cream at your local drug store without a prescription. Give that a try, but if the issue is not resolved in a week or so, it would be prudent to see a doctor. There is no need to be embarrassed, It is a just an infection like any other infection. It does not reflect on your character. Wish you good health!

A physical exam will be needed and your health should be prioritized in decisions over negative feelings. There are limitations to a telemed exam specifically for skin lesions affecting scalp and HealthTap paid platform is available. Insurances usually cover like for any other medical conditions, drug coverage will vary.
