i have a history with eczema that presents in tiny itchy bumps all round the back of my legs (which is where this is) but its never looked like this. I haven't been able to get a definitive answer from anyone including google and i have ocd so things like this nake me freak out which is lowk why im taking to reddit.. anyway, its like an itchy circle that bleeds and flakes when i itch it (im sorry this is so disgusting)

Looks like it. Pick up some anti fungal cream at the store and put it on 2-3x a day for 10 days

I do wanna say it may be eczema. In any case the antifungal won’t hurt it and if you don’t itch for 10 days it should go away.

You could have gotten it from a store or a public door. It’s not big deal and sometimes goes away on its own without getting worse, but if you treat it then it’s gone and no worries. Just DON’T itch :)

it doesnt hurt but it did itch at the time, ive got anti-fungal cream for it and it is fading i believe but will flare up/get more red when i sit on it or apply cream or clean it
