Hi,
Let me tell you that the symptoms described by you suggest that you have tinea nigra. You can better send me a photo of the spot on reports in order to better evaluate it. In this case, I suggest using topical anti-fungal ointment and cream for four weeks.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
