Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. You can apply a Lamisil cream which is an antifungal cream.
3. Take a vitamin B12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
