hi Greetings, it seems like dermatophyte infection or fungal infection. It is communicable, spreads through contact. Keep yourself clean, do not share your towel or soaps with anyone. Sweating and hot, humid climate are favorable factors for its growth. Visit a qualified dermatologist near you. Presently, this has to be treated aggressively to avoid recurrences. Regards, Dr. Anshul Jain. Nagpur
