Most likely a fungus infection.Application of canesten should help.Do consult your doc.

Hello,

Without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be pityriasis rosea,nummular dermatitis or ringworm(if itchy).
Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching.

No treatment is usually required. In most patients, the condition lasts only a matter of weeks or months(upto six months).But you can however apply a mild steroid cream for quick action.

If the rash persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.Other possibilities have to be ruled out then.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
