Hi,
It seems that you are having tinea corporis,also called ringworm infecton.
It is caused by fungus..
It is exacerbated by perspiration, soap,exassive water bath..etc
Diseases like DM,HIV,anaemia and other immunocompromised diseases may increase the rash.
Antifungal tablets like ketoconazoe and antifungal cream like miconazole will alleviate the lesion.
If there is any other disease, it should be treated.
Avoid soap bath.
Increae immunity with immunobusters.
Do not worry, you will be alright.
I hope you got my answer.
