Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have also reviewed the image.
I can see a ring shaped lesion. It does look like tinea.
I would suggest you to take an oral antifungal e.g terbinafine 250 mg tablet, once daily for 2weeks in addition to topical antifungal cream. You may also take a tablet of cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic itch relief.
Regards
