Please help! I can't find any photos matching my rash/blemish online. It doesn't itch or hurt but I'm concerned that it's spreading.

    I'm sure this isnt ringworm but it certainly looks odd. Could it be a reaction to an insect bite? Does it feel as though there is a hard lump underneath the skin? You should get it checked out to be on the safe side.

      Thanks for your reply @Marina_Dee! It doesnt feel hard at all. I've been putting hydrocortisone cream on it every day and now it's scaling over. Unfortunately, Ive had two more pop up on other parts of my body so I'll try to get an appointment with a Dr. to check it out.
