Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
This is the third time in as many years (approximately) that I have developed a bright red rash (in a discreet location...sometimes circular) that I only notice because the area became extremely painful...like a very bad bruise. Contracting the muscles around the rash is painful. The rash is not raised, and is very hot to the touch. Twice, it s been on my back. Today it is on my upper abdomen and the inside of both breasts. I always want to think it s some kind of insect bite because of the way it hurts, but there is never a mark on the rash. This is the first time it wasn t in one specific spot. Is it some kind of contact dermatitis? I live in the woods and am outdoors often.
With your description, it look like a fungal infection which is very sensitive to touch. You will require anti fungal drugs. Please visit a dermatologist for clinical examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Loveleen Sharma, General & Family Physician
