hello everyone, I recently developed thigh spots that appeared in a perfect circle and was isolated it didnt hurt and was just more itchy. I had nothing on my genitals was just on my upper thigh. All doctors have told me a yeast infection/skin rash but it doesnt look like that to me! I am so confused because it doesnt fit with typical herpes nor shingles but i know it is one. the spots broke open but didnt crust and has now gone. Please help any opinions are really appreciated! imageimage
