Itchy red patch between shin and foot
Initially it was about 1cm in diameter.it was dry and not itchy at all, about a month later it felt the same only it was larger by about 1cm. 2 weeks later, it started to become itchy and bumpy so i started to put rash powder but it became worse and became larger and itchier. then I thought it was a fungal infection, so I've been putting anti-fungal cream on it. it doesn't seem to be working as it's become larger and now it has a small 1cm patch of small bumps next to it.

Fungal infection.. Also called jock itch, when occurs in groin.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema, bacterial and viral infection, doctor need to see to confirm the diagnosis..So, meet me in my clinic or do direct online consultation by sending photos for detailed information and medicine for treatment.
