What Does A Red And Scaly Rash On Shin Indicate?
Hi, I ve had a 1inch diameter red, scaly, itchy rash-like spot on my shin for months now. I have tried cortisone creams (prescription strength), Lamisil, regular creams, Vaseline. There is no oozing or bleeding. It doesn t change ever--it doesn t get better or worse. Any thoughts :) Thanks!
