Hello
Thanks for posting your query.
From your description it seems to be ringworm.
It’s a fungal infection.
However it’s difficult to confirm the diagnosis without seeing the rash.
Hence I would request you to post a photo here. Also please do let me know if you have any fluid filled blisters in clusters. You have a feature to upload the images on the right side of this query page, please utilize it so that I can answer your query better.
The treatment for ringworm is application of lamisil cream twice a day for two weeks.
Lamisil cream its available over the counter.
Please let me know if you have any queries.
Regards
