What Is The Dime Sized Reddish Spot On The Right Thigh ?

Hello! About a week ago I noticed on my right thigh a dime sized reddish looking spot. It's like a scab like texture. I thought due to the winter it was just a dry skin spot but I've been putting lotion on regularly and it has not helped at all! Any help would be very appreciated because it's starting to make me very nervous!!!

Dermatologist 's  Response
hello,

it is very difficult to diagnose this condition without any picture. This can be a fungal infection like tinea or eczema or psoriasis or any other condition. I would suggest you to either send a picture or show it to a dermatologist in person.

Thanks

Dr Jyoti Gupta
