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.
