A member asked:

I have a rash on the back of leg that is red and in a ring and is very itchy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ringworm: The rash is suggestive of ringworm infection which is a fungal infection. You need to keep the area clean and dry and there are over the counter anti-fungal medications available to treat these. Please try one of them like clotrimazole , if no improvement in a week you will need to see a doctor.
