General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to fungal infection like tinea corporis. If you send a picture of it then it will be more helpful in identifying. For such condition I would recommend lotions containing ketoconazole or terbinafine for local application. I also advise fluconazole tab to take orally weekly once for 1 month. A consultation with dermatologist is well appreciated. Conditions like scabies should be ruled out also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
