Hi, thank you for your query. it seems you are suffering from tinea infection also called as ringworm infection. Types of tinea include ringworm, athlete s foot and jock itch. You can get them by touching an infected person, from damp surfaces such as shower floors, or even from a pet. Ringworm generally looks like a red skin rash that forms a ring around normal-looking skin. to treat ringworm a bi pronged approach of topical creams as well as oral medication is required. 1.antifungal creams can clear the condition in around two weeks eg.clotrimazole miconazole , ketoconazole , terbinafine . 2.oral anti-fungals such as griseofulvin etc can be used. but it should be kept in mind that any treatment will be effective only if it is taken for minimum of 2 weeks. thank you, wishing you good health
