What Does A Red Rash On The Shoulder Indicate?

Hi, I am a 53 yo otherwise healthy female. I noticed a red ring on my shoulder area back in February and to me it looke like it could be ringworm but I had been putting an anti fungal cream on it and it didn t go away. I saw my primary care Dr in March, she looked at it and didn t know what it was either. It got a little bigger but doe t appear to be growing. I would say it is the size of a quarter. It is not raised, doesn t itch and really doesn t bother me. However, a few weeks ago I started to get a little pain in my fingers and 2 of my fingers have been cramping up or getting stuck as I call it. Just over the past week, the pain has been waking me up at night and the pain is always the worst in the morning, but my fingers have never hurt like this and it seems to be getting worse. I am currently not insured, otherwise I would have seen my Dr by now, but will,have insurance as of June 5th when my husband starts his new job. Thoughts on what this could be?

Hi,

Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

Hope I have answered your query.
