I have red circle rashs all over. A BIG one on my upper ARM . Small cluster on my chest . Small one on my other arm. A small one on my stomach and knee . I went to a pharmacist who thought it might be ringworm. I have been using the ointment she suggested for four days now. No change. My body aches, I ve had a headache got eight days now and can even feel it when I sleep. (Headaches/migranes are not uncommon for me). I have been getting shooting pains in arms, legs, and chest. I m wondering if this is more then just ringworm? Help? I am getting a physical in two weeks. But any thoughts would be helpful... I m trying hard to be patient until I see the doc.
Hi...dear Kim., Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor., I have gone through Your history., Circle rashes and clusters with shooting pains., usually indicates viral infection...HERPES ZOSTER., But it is dermatome pattern distribution...with shooting pains., and fever....so first exclude it., For these, You're not supposed to meet PHARMACIST(she can only dispense.,the medicines, not treating the patients)...consult good dermatologist, he can guide U., thanQ
