Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed fungal infection.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
Treatment must be continued for at least 6 months to prevent recurrance.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
