Dry red non-itchy spot
by tee90, May 19, 2009 06:32PM
There's a dry redish-brown spot that's located on my upper thigh. It doesn't itch or anything. It's been there for a fre weeks already and it does not seem to be spreading or anything. I thought it could be nummular dermatitis but the symptoms to that does not match my condition and not to mention it doesn't look that severe. Any clue of what this can be?

I cannot confirm anything with out examination but it can be pityriasis rosea. Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching.
No treatment is usually required. In most patients, the condition lasts only a matter of weeks or months(upto six months)
If the rash persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.Other possibilities have to be ruled out then.It can be due to tinea versicolor also.
I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
