Rash
I have a strange rash it started with a couple little blisters in a circle it is about as big as a quarter it kind of blisters on the edge but the middle is healed like normal. What the heck is this.
I have the same thing on my left hand and my chest and I dunno how to get rid of it. I've had ring worms before and this doesn't look like that time ((stupid oak pollen D:)) I'm kinda scared since i haven't medical insurance and we're really poor.
It kinda blisters on the edge and then drys out at that point it is a little itchy. It appears to almost be gone and then it blisters up again on the outside edge.

Hi
You may be referring to a fungal infection wherein the rash may be circular in shape and may present with a pale clearing in its center. The borders of fungal infections may be well demarcated unlike that of dermatitis. Other differentials may be nummular eczema and contact dermatitis.
Microscopic evaluation of skin scrapings may be able to help ascertain if a fungal infection is causing this.
Is the rash itchy? Are there scales present?
