From your description I can make out that you must be suffering from fungal infection called tinea corporis.Though this is never painful but pain can occur due to excess scratching and secondary bacterial infection.Please send the picture to help me guide u about the proper treatment and its a completely curable condition so no need to worry.Find my details on practo.com or lybrate.com. Take care.
