Brief Answer:
Looks like Tinea corporis (fungal infection)

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query and picture. It looks like fungal infection ( Tinea corporis). You can apply antifungal creams like miconazole or terbinafine for local application. This will help to clear it. Miconazole is available as over the counter in brands like daktarin. Terbinafine is also available as over the counter in brands like Lamisil. There is nothing to worry for this

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
