What Causes Red Circular Rashes On Forearm And Back?

I have a cluster of 6 red circular rashes on my right forearm and a similar distribution on my left upper arm. The rash is very symetrical with a raised inner and darker circle located in the middle. The rash is nickel sized. I have same on my back...maybe 10 circles total. They are not oozing or very irritable - no desire to scratch. The center is firm to finger pressure. I have no headaches, chills or sickness.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having Tinea infection on the part producing circular rashes.
Apply anti-fungal lotion like Micogel lotion or Clotraimezole lotion.
Go for one course of anti-fungal medicine like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a weekfor 4 weeks.
Ok and take care.
