Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

I am Dt. Kakkar (Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have reviewed the images...

Perhaps it is a fungal infection - tinea. I suggest you use a topical antifungal e. g Clotrimazole 1% cream, twice daily. Clotrimazole cream is available over the counter.

Let me know if I can assist you further..

Regards
