About sixty days ago I was in Florida and I woke up one morning with a red circle on my arm that was about the size of a dime. I thought it would go away but it just got bigger - now the size of a silver dollar. And now I have all these small reddish sores on both arms. I went and had a blood test for Lyme screen. It was negative. The spots are not itchy - they are topped off with white scabs but they will not respond to any cream or antiseptic I have tried. My doc put me on a antibiotic for 20 days and I am halfway through it with no improvement. Your thoughts please.
HiT hanks for posting on ChatDoctorI have read and understood your concern. Your description of symptom points towards a fungal infection like ringworm. Since you have not had any favorable response on antibiotics, an antibiotic like miconazol cream may help. Just discuss this with your Doctor. Hope this will help. You may write back if more concerns Best regards Chat Doctor.
