Suggestive of ringworm infection.

Dear XXXXXXX Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your concern.
After having gone through the history given in your query and the uploaded pictures I am of the opinion that you seem to be having 'ringworm' infection.
It can be treated effectively by applying antifungal creams containing Clotrimazole or Terbinafine on the affected area of the skin twice daily.
