Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to fungal infection Tinea corporis which is also called ring worm infection. If you were my patient with such condition then I would recommend using ointments with combination of antifungal like miconazole and corticosteroid like flucinolone for local application. I also advise them to take fluconazole tab weekly once orally for 1 month to stop recurrence.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
