Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My doctors can t figure out what s going on! I had what I thought was a burn on my chin, it had a raised edge with a flakey middle. The soare/ulcer lasted a week and went away! Then it came back a month later down my neck and lasted a week to 2 weeks and went away (my doctor prescribed me antibiotics cause he thought it was a skin infection) Then it popped up on my chest and my hip/thigh and left a scar. Now it popped up on my scrotum with some other little bumps, I went to a different doctor and she said it was ringworm/jock itch (she prescribed me antifungal) And before something pops up, I usually have a sore throat What is happening? I ve read that syphillis, pytiriasis rosea and ringworm all have about the same kind of look And I don t want to go misdiagnosed
dear as rightly said chanses are there for a fungal infection. Mean while although syphillis can show such chancre,you can easily rule out by a vdrl test. Please take a good care of body hygiene. Hope this helps most welcome for further queries.
