Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic!

I understand your concern.I would like to know more about your round spots.My questions are;

Is it painful?
Does that part of skin has sense?
Is it consistent or intermittent?
What color is it?

If I guess it to be painless,white round spot which is mostly always present with irregular margins,it could possibly just be fungal infection.You should try using Clotrimazole cream on it.Try to maintain sanitary hygiene.

Hope this helps.Feel free to ask more.

Yes it is painless and it doesn't itch. But if I scratch it it's flaky.

Brief Answer:
could be bacterial

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

Thank you for follow up query!

Based on the description, it could be more of bacterial infection than a fungal one. I would suggest you to use metronidazole or ornidazole gel on it. This will help subside Your infection.

In case it doesn't help,please consult a physician.
