What Causes Itchy Round Reddish Rash Near Pelvic Area?

Hello this morning I woke up with a quarter sized red ring raised rash near my pelvic area. It is itchy and showed up over night. It is perfectly round. I work in an animal hospital. I have not been around any animals with ring worm lately ,and the location is odd it is right along my underwear line. Seen pics of ring worm don t think that is what it is. Can you help me. Any ideas? Thanks , Kelsey

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi
According to your complaints it seems to be ringworm infection which is a fungal infection.
I would recommend you to apply topical antifungal like terbinafine cream or clotrimazole cream on the affected area twice daily for 2-3 weeks.
This should help in resolving it.
