A member asked:

I have a dry circular rash on my chest. it doesn't itch. i've put polysporin on it for a week, but it's still there.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a dermatologist: Throw away the polysporin. It is useless and often causes allergic reactions. Begin with a definition of whatever you have. The most reliable route to this is through a skin specialist.
