Hi Thans for writing to us.
From the description it seems both of you could be fungal infection/tinea corporis.
treatment requires
oral antifungal fluconazole
topical antifungal- clotrimazole or terbinafine
oral antihistamine- cetrizine
clotrimazole soap for bathing.
As these are prescfription drugs please consult a dermatologist prior to using these.
Hope that helped
