I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be tinea corporis. It is a superficial fungal infection (dermatophytosis) of the arms and legs however it may occur on any part of the body.
Wash the area daily and then dry thoroughly by pat drying, not rubbing. The damp skin is an ideal site for fungi to multiply. Also wear cotton clothes and change them twice a day and do not share other people’s towels. Most cases of fungal infections respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole. You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. Some of them are Lamisil, Monistat derm, Mycelex, and Nizoral.
If the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist. Oral antifungals may be needed.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or fi you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
