Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have viewed the Images

I can see annular / ring like lesions which seem like a fungal infection i.e tinea.

I would suggest you to take an oral antifungal e.g tablet terbinafine 250mg (Zimig 250mg tablet) once daily for 2 weeks.
Topically you may use an antifungal lotion e.g luliconazole lotion (Lulifin lotion), twice daily for 2 weeks.
In addition you may take a tablet of cetrizine 10mg once daly for symptomatic relief from itching.

Regards
