Q: i had a red circle on my face but then it spread to my neck then to my hairline and now my cheeks some of the marks have gone away but the one on my cheek is scaly and scabby and now the same thing is on my thumb?

: Those skin lesions could be due to viral or fungal infection. Examination +/- testing should be done for the correct diagnosis. Best if you can see a dermatologist if possible or at least you should see your family doctor.
