Does Red Rash With Spots Around The Area Indicate Ringworm?

I have a rash that is spreading. It is dark red and 3 are circles and one loops out of a circle and there are small spots around the area, is this ringworm because i had it on my shoulder before this rash on my thigh appeared or something more serious. Is there any way to get a picture of it to you?

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion without picture I can't give you any suggestions.

Though it looks like ring worm, a clear picture can help me for more clarification. You can send me picture on the below link.

You can take cetrizine for itching. And can apply clotrimazole cream after due consultation from your doctor.




I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
