Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.Still from the description you have given it seems you might have got a fungal infection called tinea corporis.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way in the management.
Thanks
Dr Hardik Pitroda
