Consistent Rashes On Stomach With Formation Of New Ones, Mild Itching. What Could It Be?
I am going to see a dermatologist next wednesday about a rash I have. But was wondering if I could get some insight. I had a rather large, 2 inch, patch on my stomach that I thought was ringworm . It never went away. Then two weeks later, little patches started to develop with the big patch still there. It s not too terribly itchy, just in some spots. Just trying to figure out what it is
