Hello,
Where is the location of white rash?
It may be due to:
1. Dermophyte infection
2. Vitiligo
3. Psoriasis with white flakes
4. Eczema
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Keep distance from children in case of fungal infection it may spread to kids. Use oint terbinaforce plus twice a day for five days. If no improvement please consult with your dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
