A member asked:

Rash on back. red flat circles/spots/patches. doesn't itch or burn. wondering what's wrong and how to treat it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dermatologist: A physician or dermatologist would have to inspect your back in order to make a diagnosis. A common cause of this type of rash is a chronic fungus infection called tinea versicola which,if present, requires specific treatment with an antifungal cream.
