Hello,

Do the rashes present all over your skin?
Is it itching/bleeding?
Is it shows white patchy scales?
My suggestion is you can take Clotrimazole topical application cream for a week and consult a dermatologist.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini
