It could be fungal infection. Do you have similar red round patches on the private parts or elsewhere on the body? Fungal infection of face is called tinea fascei. It can be treated. Please send photos using private chat so that diagnosis can be confirmed and prescription can be given. If it is fungal infection, you need to get it treated as early as possible as it will spread elsewhere on the body and also to other household contacts.
