Does anyone recognize this rash? I get in often. It starts off as a small raised pimple then turns in to a crusty raised ring with red borders. It disappears after a few weeks. Any idea which infection? Please see attached photo. Thanks!
Does that one work?

Yes. I don't recognize this skin condition.

It looks like a fungal/yeast skin infection...

Cannot access your pic- but I agree, description sounds like possible yeast. But I would def see a dermatologist.

Hey Jets Fan!
Well... Has it only been the once that you have had that rash?
I had those, over 90% of my body.
Mine was RMSF with lyme. It's just the petechiae, and then my body set up an autoimmune thing and made each petechiae rash raised, swollen and flaky.
Totally went away after treating with doxy.
If you get more, and you see a dermo (Don't the dermo treatment options are steroids or methotrexate, or Humira et al.) they will say guttate psoriasis.
The doxy cleared it up, and it's been gone 4 years now. (Prior to that, I had it 11 years. I felt like a human lizard)
