Red mark on leg
Respected Doctors,
I have this red mark on the leg since last week. I cleared it off
from dettol and applies soframycin thrice a day. It's 9 days now but this hasn't subsided. I am afraid if this is a hive. 1st picture is when it started and 2nd picture is as on date. Kindly suggest. I don't want that this thing spreads across the body. Thanks in anticipation.

I do agree with Dr. Bobby, that it is certainly not a fungal infection, as it normally occurs on moist body folds, in hot humid climate. Also the lesion does not look like Tinea corporis
Next Steps
online consultation with me or Dr. Bobby
