What Causes Skin Rash?

Hello, I have this skin rash that isn t going away. It started small near my hip bone area on my right side, and slowly progressed upward, and is spreading out horizontally towards the front and backside. The strange thing is, the rash disappears in the area it has been after it has moved up, leaving behind a darkened slightly dry skin texture. The rash itself isn t too big, small clustered red bumps, occassionally very itchy, but sometimes I don t notice it at all until provoked. Can anyone tell me what this is, where it s caused from, and how I may cure it?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Lesion that spreads on one side and heals on another side may be due to a condition called Lupus Vulgaris. There are several other conditions. You may need a skin biopsy to conclude a diagnosis. I suggest you to consult your Dermatologist as soon as possible to arrive at a diagnosis and to initiate proper treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian.
