Brief Answer:
Hello. This is a fungal skin infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello. This sounds like tinea corporis, a fungal skin infection, and coritisone cream can actually make it worse.

You can try Lamisil cream three times a day for a week, but if that isn't effective you'll need either prescription ketoconazole cream or oral Diflucan.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
