Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy, red ring type rashes on knees and waist which seems to be due to hair follicle infection leading to folliculitis and it could be due to allergic reaction , side effect of certain medicine or fungal infection.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment and wear loose clothes. You should avoid sharing your clothes with someone and avoid taking anyone's clothes. You should take course of oral antibiotics. Maintain complete hygiene and keep area little dry. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription. Also take over the counter antihistamines like zyrtec .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
