Hi.
As per your case history your husband is having fungal rash called as tinea corporis.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
3. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it.
4. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching.
5. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
