What Causes Circular Rashes All Over The Body?
I am writing for a friend. I am an RN and she called me for advice but I am stumped. She is a 48 year old woman in good health. Her symptoms are a circular rash (like rings) that are all over her body. They are not itching but there is one behind her ear that is burning . They start small but then grow bigger, usually over the course of a day. Any ideas?

Hello,
It could be of great help if I could see the rash myself. Please send a photo if you can. The rash all over your friend's body is due to possible:
• Allergy
• Fungal infection
A good physical examination of the rash and skin scrapping examination of the affected skin are needed to determine the right diagnosis. So, I advise to consult with dermatologist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
