Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely fungal infection called tinea corporis.I usually treat my patients of such condition with ointments of miconazole or terbinafine for local application and fluconazole tablet weekly once for aborting recurrance. For some i recommend talcum powder containing ketoconazole also.Anyhow it is better to have a consultation with dermatologist to rule out the condition.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
