Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions.
I have reviewed your clinical picture and it seems that you have got a fungal skin infection called Tinea.
I usually recommend proper course of oral anti-fungal drugs like Fluconazole or Itraconazole along with application of an anti-fungal cream like luliconazole at bedtime.
You can additionally use antifungal dusting powder containing sertaconazole during day time and a soap containing ketoconazole for rinsing of affected areas. Take oral antihistaminics for itching as required.
Maintain hygiene over those areas and avoid wearing tight and synthetic clothes.
Avoid sharing of soap, towels, and other common household articles.
I would suggest you to consult your dermatologist for proper management of the condition.
Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.
Let me know if you require any more assistance from my side.
Thanks
