Suggest Treatment For Small Rings On Back Of Neck

I have small red rings on the back of my neck/upper back. I had a few behind my ear last year but they went away. I just noticed that quite a lot have appeared. They are almost perfectly circular varying in size and are small. They aren t getting bigger. What could they be?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

As per your case history we need to know few details:
• Is it itchy?
• Are they increasing in size?
• Is there any history of similar lesions on any other body part?
• Do you suffer from any systemic disease like diabetes?

My probable diagnosis in your case is either tinea corporate or granuloma annulare. My advice is to consult a dermatologist for perfect diagnosis and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
