Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably she has developed a superficial fungal infection.
It is called as tinea corporis.
I treat such cases with a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole to be applied twice daily for a month.
Take care of personal hygiene.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
