Brief Answer:
It seems discoid eczema or fixed drug eruption
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it is not looking like fungal infection.
It is looking like either discoid eczema or fixed drug eruption.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily for 2 weeks. You will need a written prescription for it.
If it is associated with itching take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg once daily at night.
Steroidal preparations are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
