Brief Answer:
Tinea infection likely

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

From your described, it seems to be tinea infection.
Tinea is a type of fungal infection, which can be treated by mild antifungal agents.
Terbinafine ointment and oral fluconazole are the mode of treatment for tinea infection.
However, you should consult a dermatologist for proper examination, confirmation of the diagnosis and get further treatment accordingly.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
