Hi.
As per your case history you are suffering from tinea corporis (fungal infection)
My treatment advice is -
1. Maintain good hygiene, bath twice daily and wear loose cotton clothes.
2. Don't use triple combination creams as it will only give temporary relief and skin rash will relapse and worsen on stopping it.
3. Use an anti-fungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily and dust a clotrimazole powder. Anti-histamine medicine like levocetrizine can be taken for itching.
4. Other treatment option includes oral fluconazole, itaconazole or terbinafine.

Thanks.
