Brief Answer:
Possible fungal skin infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I can certainly understand your concerns.

As per your symptoms, the possibility of fungal skin infection is high.

It is important that you need a short course of oral anti fungal therapy for effective relief.

I generally recommend my patients oral tablets of fluconazole on day1 followed by terbinafine for 2 weeks.

Please check with your doctor if he shares my view and if can prescribe them to you.

Post your further queries if any.
Thanking you.
