Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history your maybe suffering from tinea corporis (fungal infection) or nummular eczema.
My treatment advice -
1. Don't apply any home remedial preparation on that part or any triple combination cream.
2. Apply an anti-fungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily.
3. If lesion persists it is better to consult a dermatologist for perfect
diagnosis and treatment
Thanks.
