If I understand your question, you should remove makeup, which is covering a yeast skin infection, with a mild soap & warm water,pat dry and apply an antiyeast cream,if it's a.moist area,ointment if a dry area. Your pharmacist can recommend one. If no improvement, see your physician or a dermatologist for diagnosis & proper treatment.
