General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Your problem most commonly due to ringworm infection as you have family history if ring worm. I would suggest to consult dermatologist and undergo examination and KOH mount to confirm the fungus etiology. Treatment is oral and topical antifungal drug. Tablet Terbinafine once daily. Apply Sertaconazole cream on the affected areas twice daily. Tablet Levocterizine at bedtime if you have itching.

Keep the area clean and dry, avoid sharing soap and towel, stay in cool environment. Take the above treatment for 3 to 4 week under the observation of your dermatologist.

Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
