Hi.
I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Your symptoms could be due to Ringworm of skin / Tinea infection . I advice you to take,
- Tab. Itraconazole 100mg OD for 4-6weeks
- candid powder in the day time  or
- Terbinafine cream at night for 2weeks
- maintain good self hygiene

If not responding to the antifungals, it's must to rule out underlying predisposing factors like Diabetes, immunosuppressive disorders & treatment if any.

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

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
