Hi,

You seem to suffer from two conditions ... one is pityriasis alba and second is tinea corporis,cruris. Pityriasis Alba is benign condition with hypopigmented patches occurring off and on of unknown cause. Apply tacrolimus oint on the patches. And tinea corporis and cruris are the fungal infection and may be cured by antifungal tablets and cream. For that you consult the dermatologist. Avoid soap bath. Improve hygiene and immunity. Keep the skin dry. Wetness and perspiration may exacerbate the fungal infection.

Hope this helps.
