What Causes Red Itchy Circle Over The Abdomen?

Iam a female who works at a known clinic and I just realized I have a red itchy circle near my belly button. I m a little scared because I never had this before and it has been getting dark red from a light pink color. Please, anyone who has an idea of what it might be let me know asap. Thank you.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

As per your description the red itchy circle appears to be fungal infection of the area whihc is known as tinea corporis.

I suggest you to just check some of the images on internet. In my patients with tinea infection I give latest anti-fungal crams with antifungal tablts.

Take care.
