Is Red Circular Dry Patch On Waistline A Sign Of Eczema?
I have 3 red circular dry patches on waistline and 2 on my lower legs. I was told it was excima but my friend who I have unprotected sex with also got them. Do you know what his could be? We were both also treated for scabies but the doctor didn t think that it was scabies but gave the medication just to make sure.

The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description is Tinea corporis which is a fungal infection. You can apply topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole over the affected area. Oral antifungal tablets like Terbinafine or fluconazole can be used after consulting your dermatologist. Avoid wearing tight clothes.Avoid hot and humid climate. Regards.
