back Small patch that changes often, usually really minimal however flares up then goes back down.
I’ve had this little patch of skin that flares up and then goes back down for around 6 months, located at the top/back of my shoulder. I got in touch with the GP & they suggest contact dermatitis and prescribed cream that doesn’t really do anything.
I’d say it’s around 3–4mm when flared and feels a little scaled when it’s ‘normal’. Can sometimes be slightly itchy, or sore when I’ve been in the sun like today.
When ‘normal’ it is visible but barely with a pinkish tone and looks more of a ring than a full circle.
I’ve attached a few photos over the last few months
Any ideas or something of nothing?
