I want to know how to clean area affected with fungal infection? Also does scratching make the fungal infection worse?

Keep the skin dry ,do not apply any cream. You should consult a dermatologist so that proper treatment can be advised depending upon the underlying cause. Scratching definitely worsens the infection so try to avoid touching the affected part.
