Hi, you seem to have tinea corporis and cruris.
Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
It is a fungal infection.
You may take anti fungal like cap itraconazole 100 mg twice a day for few weeks antihistaminics like levocetirizine.
Apply anti fungal cream like sertaconazole cream.
Avoid soap bath.
Keep the area dry.
