MedHelp Member's Question

Electrical burn/infection

by mr434, Dec 02, 2007 10:37AM

Hi,
I was electrocuted about 10yrs ago on a high voltage powerline and since after treatment I have been having this rash that is red and circular (like ring worm) appearing on different parts of my body. It begins as a red dot and slowly over days , expands outwards forming a circular ring and as it expands wider, the sides break and slowly fade. It takes about a month or so for the fading to take place.
I have tried prescription medication given by doctors and dermatologist with no effect. I have been seen by two different dermatologists, who had taken samples of my skin infection and cannot determine exactly what it is?.
It looks like ringworm but does not react to lamasil tablets/spray etc..
Pliz help,
Tony L
