What Causes Spreading Rash On Inner Elbow, Chest And Thighs?
I am a 19 year old female. I've had a rash on my inner elbow for about 3 years now and it won't go away. It not raised and it doesn't itch. Its a little red, very noticeable. It almost looks like dry skin. It has recently spread to my inner thighs, all over my stomach and chest. Im starting to get worried
The rash could be an erythrasma or a pityriasisis versicolor. The former condition is due to a bacteria and the latter is due to fungus. So, I request you to consult your Dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and for initiating the proper treatment.
