Question 1

Accepted Answer

Need examination: You'll need to see your doctor, for an examination, about this.  They may also ask you several questions, such as any recent changes in soaps or detergents, how long the rash has been present, any travel or exposure to sources of infection, other conditions you have, that could complicate the diagnosis.  Also, more details about the location of the rash would be helpful.  Consider dermatolologist.

Accepted Answer

Gyrate Erythema: Often no specific cause for the eruptions is found. However, that does not mean that a cause does not exist. I would recommend going to a dermatologist so they can help you try an figure out a possible underlying cause. If the specific cause is identified then that condition can be treated and this will help with the superficial gyrate erythema. Hope this helped :].
