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

According to me, it might be fungal infection of skin (Tinea). Ask him to apply Terbinafine cream on circular patches. Also advise him to apply clotrimazole dusting powder twice daily on skin folds and sweat prone areas. Ask him to avoid tight fitting clothes and not to wear wet clothes. If you continue to have the problem even after following the above measures for 2 weeks, do consult your Dermatologist.

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