Large, Red Circle on skin is Raised...what can it be? Posted: 08-20-06 08:09am
A few days ago i spotted a large red
circle with a hard middle on my back. The
next day that was better but another one
started on my upper leg and the next day
more appeared, mostly on my legs, as the
previous ones disappeared. It is not itchy
but is raised and ranging from 1" to 3"
circumfrence. When it starts to go away
the skin is purple, yellow as if a black
and blue mark. This morning a got a new
one on my groin. Does anyone know what
this is?
It is hard to diagnose a skin condition
without a visual examination of the
affected area! You may be experiencing an
allergic skin reaction and can go
immediately to a dermatologist for
examination, diagnosis, and treatment!
