Hello Lybrate user You are most probably suffering from a fungal infection called Tinea which needs prolonged treatment for 2 to 3 months for permanent cure. You will need to take oral itraconazole under the guidance of a dermatologist. It will reappear if the treatment is stopped in between. Apply DK gel till you show a skin specialist.
