Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. If you send a picture of the rash then it will be more helpful for identification. It can be most likely due to fungal infection called tinea corporis. A visual examination with a dermatologist will help you rule out that. If you were my patient with such condition then I would recommend using ketoconazole lotion for local application and fluconazole tablet weekly once orally for 1 month also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
