Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at ChatDoctorI would keep a possibility of either Erythema(bacterial infection by micrococci/ diphtheria) Or Tina courts. Tinea usually itches whereas Erythema present as reddish brown scaly patches which are completely asymptomatic. I would advise that you get a skin scraping test for a confirmatory diagnosis. Treatment of erythema is by topical antibacterial gel like clindamycin twice daily along with an oral antibiotic e.g. erythromycin for 2 weeks. Tinea requires topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole, with or without oral antifungals like fluconazole or itraconazole.regard stake care
