Hello, Welcome to HCM.
You have not mentioned the exact site and size of your lesions. It looks like eczema from the history you have given but possibility of fungal infection is also there. Your treatment is correct in case of eczema but if it is fungal infection then antifungal medicines needs to be added depending upon the severity of infection.
Please consult your doctor for precise diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this will be helpful.
Thanks for your question. Take care.
