About a month ago a red, dry patch appeared on my shoulder . I originally thought it was ringworm , but the anti fungal medication only made it worse. After applying the medicine, the patch grew from the side of a dime to the size of a quarter. It does not itch and is not painful. It is simply and red, scaly patch. What do you think it could be?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The condition can be erotic eczema, discoid eczema, ringworm etc. As it has worsened after antifungal application it is likely that it is eczema. You can apply a good moisturizer with shea butter twice daily along with mild steroid like HY Chat Doctor. Continue this for 2-3 weeks for visible effects. Hope this helps. Regards
