Fungal infection?

I got a bad rash (red puss bumps on my buttocks) almost 15 days ago after which the pain decreased but it left white pimple-like spots on my buttocks. I took candid cream and augmentin 625, currently, I have tinea cruris for which I am taking kenz cream and itaspor 100 mg. Can you please tell me what should I apply for white spots? Can I continue the tinea cruris cream on the same spot?

I expect the white spots will resolve without therapy. You can continue what you are doing.

Not certain what is causing the white spots, but continuing the antifungal cream is worthwhile. Could be a condition called tinea versicolor, which responds to antifungals.
