Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I already reviewed the attached report.
Your symptoms seem to be related to ringworm or tinea corporis.
It is a fungal infection.
I recommend using an over the counter antifungal cream such as Miconazole cream.
I also recommend using antifungal medication such as Fluconazole 150 mg daily for three days.
It is a prescription medication, so you should consult your doctor before this treatment.
Hygiene is very important.
I suggest to wash the body frequently and keep it dry.
The condition is common and contagious, but it’s not serious, so you should not be worried.
Hope I have answered your query.
