If it is not hurting and was gradual. It is likely to be fungal infection. Just local antifungal application and 5 days course of antifungal orally will do the needful. For local application you can use itraconazole and for oral intake fluconazole or ketoconazole can be taken twice daily for 5 days. Please check your thyroid, Grbs/ppbs/hba1c and keep a check on your respiratory system as well as to any breathlessness or chest pain if occurs anytime.

There isn't sufficient information to suggest a specific diagnosis. It is possible that it could be a fungal infection. I would advise you to meet a dermatologist so that you can be examined and undergo the necessary investigations(if required) to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly.
