Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have circular cluster of rashes. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like discoid dermatitis , ring worm ,eczema , bug bites or psoriasis. I would suggest you to keep the area clean and dry , apply petrooleum jelly , maintain personal hygiene and take antihistamine zyrtec twice a day . You can also apply cold compresses and over the counter antifungal cream . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe anti bacterial or anti fungal depending upon the diagnosis along with anti inflammatory .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
