Pictures requested

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions.
From the description it seems you are having a fungal infection called tinea corporis but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
You can mail pictures to YYYY@YYYY
with subject titled ' ATTN Dr Hardik Pitroda'.

Thanks
Dr Hardik Pitroda
