From your description of circular reddish patches that have enlarged and joined with itching, this could be a fungal infection (tinea/ringworm), which commonly spreads gradually if untreated.
Next Steps
✔️ Keep the area clean and dry and avoid scratching
✔️ Do not apply random steroid creams as they can worsen fungal infections
✔️ I would recommend an online consultation with me so I can review the lesion and guide you with the appropriate treatment.
Helpful Tip
Fungal infections are common and respond well to the right treatment when started early.
