Hi ,
Thanks for writing in.
Most likely cause in your case is tinea corporis or fungal infection.
You should try lamisil cream twice daily for 7 days.It is available over the counter sale.
This should help considerably.
A visit to dermatologist will be helpful for diagnosis and proper treatment of the condition.
Hope this helps.
