What Do Round Rashes On The Right Calf Indicate?
Hi have have developed 2 circular skin rashes. They are flat. They do not hure, do not itch. the skin is reddish or pinkish. the skin is dry and a little flaky. Size is ~ 1/2 inch to slightly larger located on the top of my center right foot. and on leg inside mid-calf right foot. Looks like typical ring worm according to picture on the internet. I do not think it is pityriasis rosea. I did not have any symptoms such as feeling not well before the appearance of the rash. Should i treat it as if it is ring worm and see how it responds? Am thinking I will go to CVS and get an anti fungal cream. What are your thoughts?

As very rightly said it might be a fungal infection.Although not itchy,please start with a antifungal topical cream or dusting powder .Mean while please take care of the socks,stockings and cloths as they need to be treated well for the fungal hyphae and spores find a good shelter in them.
hope this helps
most welcome for further queries
