Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have gone through your complaints as well as reviewed the attached photographs.
It seems to be eczematous dermatitis.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply steroid antifungal combination cream like clobetasol propionate and miconazole cream on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg twice daily for 2-3 weeks.
I would also recommend you to take deworming medicine like tablet albendazole 400 mg single dose stat.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
