Hello,
Mostly on clinical examination alone you dermatologist will be able to tell you whether the lesions are fungal in origin or eczematous.
In this case, it might be caused by a contact dermatitis to external allergens coming in contact with your hip region.
In certain cases, the diagnosis can be confirmed for the fungus by doing a skin scraping and examination/culture of the material obtained.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
