Hi.
As per your case history you may be having fungal infection called as tinea corporis.
My treatment advice is -
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Keep your belongings different as it is infectious disease.
3. Apply antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily. Take antihistamines like tab levocetrizine for itching.
4. Other treatment options include oral antifungal medicines like fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine.

Thanks.
