Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to fungal infection Tinea corporis. If you send a picture of it then it will be more helpful in identifying. For such condition I would recommend using anti fungal ointments like terbinafine or miconazole for local application. It is also better to take fluconazole tablet orally weekly once for 1 month to stop recurrence.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
