Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Circle rash are usually related to a fungal infection called ringworm.
I suggest using an antifungal cream for local application such as Clotrimazole cream.
I also suggest using Fluconazole 150 mg for three days,9ne tablet a day.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
