I can t seem to find any pictures on the internet so as to identify it. it sometimes itches, heats agrivates it, and it tends to cause very dry skin I also do not have any medicaql insurance at the moment for I am unemployed. I have tried a vitamin A&D ointment, a psoriasis multi symptom ointment, and a staphAseptic ointment with no result. please advise

From the site and the kind of symptoms you mention, I would think about the possibility of a ringworm infection.

A pruritic, slowly spreading annular plaque is characteristic of a symptomatic infection. Patients occasionally can experience a burning sensation. A potassium HY Chat Doctor. Topical therapy is recommended for a localized infection. Topical creams having antifungal components, eg, ketoconazole/ clotrimazole/ fluconazole should be applied to the lesion and at least 2 cm beyond this area once or twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Hope this helps.take care!
