Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to ringworm ( Tinea corporis). If you send a picture then it will be more helpful in identifying. Clotrimazole won't be effective for some. I would recommend antifungals like moconazole or terbinafine ointment for local application and fluconazole tab weekly once orally for 1 month to stop recurrence.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
