Hello respected,
according to your description the condition matches with the ring worm infection.
You should take itraconazole 100mg capsule,
daily one, for at least 1 month,
antihistamines like levocetrizine 5 mg at night,
terbinafine cream .and Whitfield s ointment.
continue treatment 2 weeks beyond clearance of rash to avoid chance of recurrence
do get prescribed by your GP or dermatologist.
Thank you
