Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to tinea corporis which is a fungal infection.
I suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
I also suggest using an antifungal cream for local application such as Clotrimazole cream.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
