Red mark on leg

2020-04-07 05:42:09
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

Most probable diagnosis is allergic contact dermatitis Its not hive as hive does not last for more than 24 hours its not a fungal infection as fungal infections usually initially starts from moist skin like groins axilla and patch of fungal infection have well defined border and central clearing .
