Hello
Thank you for posting on HCM
From your description, it seems you have got Tinea corporis, a sort of fungal skin infection.
I would recommend you consult a dermatologist for proper management.
I generally recommend proper course of oral antifungal drug like fluconazole / itraconazole along with local application of sertaconazole or luliconazole cream over affected areas.
Take oral antihistaminics for itching as required.
Hope this will take care of your problem
Thank you
