Brief Answer:
Dermatophytosis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
From what I understand you are referring to skin fungal infection (dermatophytosis) - ring worm. Correct me if I am wrong.
Ring worms can be very annoying and are often itchy. Here is how you should deal with it
1. Make sure to keep the area dry and clean
2. Avoid scratching the area
3. Do not wear nylon material clothes over the ring worm
4. Apply Ketaconazole ointment twice daily after cleaning it with soap and water. Once the ringworm lesion is better continue to apply it for another week,
Oral anti fungal agents are not required for the ring worm.
I hope I was of help, please get back to me for any further queries
