Small, Itchy, Burning Pink Patch With Silvery Scales On Abdomen Spreading On Hip. Temporary Relief From Mild Steroid Cream. Suggest
I found a small pink patch on my abdomen. It was a bit itchy. It grew larger and another one appeared on my hip (oposite side of body). They have grown larger and have some small silvery scales, there is some occasional ithing and mild burning. I have used a mild steroid cream and it seems to make it subside for a day or two, but then it flares up again. The patches are oval shape
