Red Bump Below Rib Cage, Itching. What Might This Be?
I noticed a red bump below my right rib cage area that resembled a pimple or misquito bite. It itches like a misquite bite and gradually spread into two small patches , one in the original place and one a bit lower toward the right waistline area. There was one bump very near to my navel but does not seem to have spread. Today, I noticed a small place on the front of my neck that looks like a half inch scratch and itches slightly, though I have refrained from scratching . Can you help me figure out what this might be?

Hi i think it is tinea corporis.it starts like a pimple and slowly spreads to form a annular lesion with central clearing on repeated scratching.it is a fungal infection.it should be treated with atarax 25 mg at night.terbinafine 250 mg for 14 days and application of terbinafine ointment over the lesiond can cure it.use a ketoconazole soap for daily bathing
