What Does A Large Pinkish Circle On The Side Of The Neck Indicate?

On the side of my neck, I have a large circle. Sort of pink. Looks a dull pinkish color. smooth to the touch, and it looks like a sort of fine layer of skin or something... Maybe it s ringworm or a fungal thing??? Doesn t feel like a rash since it s not that itchy. Thank you So much :) john

Hello,

Listening to your symptoms it seems like a fungal infection or ringworm. You can attach a photo for me to confirm that.

You can use clotrimazole cream or Monistat cream to apply over it. Also, dry it well after a bath.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka,
