Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Dear Sir
Thanks for providing clinical photograph. Going by description of your symptoms of itching and discharge along with clinical photograph, the lesion is likley to be Tinea versicolor( which is type of fungal infection).
Apart from antifungal cream like Ketoconazole, local application of steroid ointment like Betamethasone will be helpful. I would also recommend oral antihistamine like Cetirizine which will reduce the itching.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
