I noticed very similar (if not identical) patches on my inner thigh one week ago. I have two one one side, two on the other. The skin surface seems normal, but the original pinkiness has changed to brown. They haven´t grown yet, nor have other appeared, yet, but I don´t like the look of them.
From what i´ve read on the internet they would seem to be good candidates for one of two rare skin cancers. I went to see my local doctor, and he seemed totaly unconcerned and gave me a cream to apply, which after just 2 days has done nothing.
I can´t find any type of skin fungus that would cause these, and the skin surface is normal, which might rule our eczema. I´ll let you know if I find anything useful. I have a web site which might be useful, with images of similar rashes.

Hi Johnny,

What I did notice on visiting http://www.threedcg.com/Hernia_surgery/ was that I too had Hernia surgery and the very next day I noticed the first red mark on my forearm. Five months on and I've just noticed two more marks, another near my elbow and one on the back of my leg. I couldn't see any of your pictures but my marks/spots are red and raised and are not going away. No pain either but I'm concerned at our similarities

Is there some link to hernia surgery or is this just a coincidence? I'm going to do some googling!!

I am experiencing something very similar to this. First I noticed a cluster of reddish purple skin marks on the top of my left foot. Now it is brown and has never gone away. I have had this for over 9 months. Not itchy or sore. My husband noticed I have spots on the backs of my thighs. One fifty cent piece sized circular spot, which goes from red to purple, also not raised sore or itchy. I have 3 of the irregularly shaped ones on my left upper rear thigh and 2 on the right.

My doctor immediately deemed this all Ringworm or a fungal infection. 2 months of creams and no improvement. Now he has me putting steroid cream on it. NOT WORKING!!! These don't look like they are going to go away ever and if I get more I am going to be really upset! No sun exposure to the thigh areas. I am considerng UV light there just to see if it improves.

HELP!!! Kim

I have a similar problem - about 3 weeks ago a reddish brown patch appeared on my neck. Not itchy, not sore, not dry, not flakey, only slightly red. The doctor told me it was probably a fungal infection and told me to use canesten on it. this has made no difference. Has anyone else found a solution that works? Does anyone know what these patches actually are?

couple days ago i see some small red spots on my breast and they are itching me,what is the the problem
