I am Dr Kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist).I have noted your concern and I have viewed the image.

I can see 2 oval scaly patches. Seems like a fungal infection. I request you to kindly upload a few more good quality images of the affected areas.

Brief Answer:
Topical antifungal and oral antihistamine

Detailed Answer:
Thank you.

I suggest you to use a topical antifungal e.g ketoconazole 2% cream(Nizral cream), twice daily for 2-4 weeks. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Tab cetrizine 10mg once a day for symptomatic relief from itching.

Regards
