First of all, these problems need treatment under the supervision of a dermatologist. Because if the diagnosis is not correct, your problem may not be solved.
However, tinea infection or multiple reasons can cause these problems.
Get the treatment of a good dermatologist now to get the right treatment. If you want, you can also take online video consult with us. Thanks.
