What Causes Small Eraser Sized Rough Patch On Thigh?

Hi, I had a small eraser sized rough patch of skin that I noticed on my thigh (skin color not irritated at all) that has now doubled in sized and looks like a welt within a week. I m 33 female, red hair and freckles, no history of any skin issues or eczema etc. it occasionally kinda burns but is not itchy at all. Slightly raised and scaly as well. Any ideas?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, fungal infection (Ring worm ) may be likely and it can be managed with Miconazole cream on tentative basis, if this fails to response then clinical examination is must, because skin lesion always demands the clinical examination, hope this information helps, take care, and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
