Brief Answer:
Apply cortisone cream and report progress in 7days!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for these images. I have reviewed them fully.

This circular rash is not typical of any specific common dermatological disease. If this were itchy, it would have been typical of a fungal infection. You didn’t mention any of that. Are there any other associated symptoms that you might want to report to me? For how long its been there? Has it responded to any medicine?

I will suggest that we apply cortisone cream and see how it responds within a week. If this fail stop show any improvement, then we will need to get you in for further review.

I wish you well and await your updates.
