Brief Answer:
Possible fungal dermatitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I understand your concern.

You possibly seem to have fungal dermatitis.

This can cause recurrences and flaking.

I advise you to take tab Fluconazole 200 mg once a day for 5 days followed by one tab once a week for 4 weeks.

This should be supplemented by topical application of Ketoconazole solution on the affected areas twice a day followed by hot water bath.

Post your further queries,if any.
Thank you.
