Could Pain In Spot On Shoulder And Thighs Due To Eczema?

I have a spot the size of a nickel on my shoulder. It is red with no other color. It has not grown since I started noticing it. It does not itch but is slightly more painful than surrounding skin when pressed lightly. Today I noticed a matching sort on my thigh. Should I be concerned? Could this be eczema?

Hi,

After reading your query it appears that you are suffering from Fungal infection of the shoulder and thigh area.

Do not apply any mixed cream or mixed ointments as it causes further aggravation of the problem. I suggest you to apply plane anti-fungal cream such as clotrimazole or ketoconazole. Take fluconazole 150 mg alternate days or tablet terbinafine 250 mg daily for 15 days.

Do not pinch, pop or scratch the area.Keep the area dry and let you wear cotton clothes. Change the undergarments two time a day.

Take care.
