I've been dealing with this rash that appears on one or both of my upper thighs for years now. It's not always there, but when it shows up, it tends to stick around for months. It usually starts out as one or two small circles and then spreads to a much larger area over a week or two. It's not painful, just a bit elevated. It never scabs or blisters, though it only itches when I scratch it or something touches it. I find it quite unsightly and really want to figure out what this could be. Any ideas?

I'm really worried about this condition on my leg. There's something like "KARATMarathi" there, and the blood around it has just turned into a solid red clot under my skin. It looks really concerning and I'm unsure if what I'm doing is right. I've started taking DISPERZYME and CEFCHAMP 325, twice every day, as prescribed. Do you think I'm on the right track to treat this issue, or should I consider something else?

Karat (Marathi word) typically refers to a boil or abscess.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with this ringworm issue near my vaginal area. It's getting worse every day with itching, inflammation, a red patch, and dark skin. I've tried using lechensa cream, but it's not helping at all. Can you suggest some cream or treatment that will actually work? I've never had skin problems like this before, and it's really frustrating and upsetting. What should I do?
