Round Marks On Skin, Reappearing. Applied Anti Fungal Cream. Recommendations?
Hi, my name is Aaron. I have some round marks on my skin, the skin with the round mark is cracking and dry, but I don't feel it hurting or itchy. It will heal after several days if I keep applying lotion. But, once in a while, they will be coming back. They are appearing on my legs and arms, typically around the joints. I have no clue what happens. I have tried some antifungal cream, but again they will come back eventually. I have those things for like a year..please help me. I am a 21 year-old male.
