Suggest Treatment For Bumps On Elbows

Posted on Tue, 6 Oct 2015

Question: Hello. I am concerned about some bumps on both of my elbows. It started on just my left elbow at first, but now I have it on the right one too. I m not sure if this is just ring worm or what. It has been there now for over a year, and I can't seem to get it to go away. It does not bleed nor scab. It is smooth and not discolored of any kind, (ex) pink, etc..

Possibility of fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have reviewed the Images.

Yes, this does seem like a fungal infection on elbow.
I suggest you to try an OTC topical antifungal e.g clotrimazole 1% cream Or miconazole nitrate 2% cream, twice daily.

Regards
