Back Rash

hi, first time poster to the forum. i have recently acquired a minor back injury and asked a friend at the gym to apply some balm. in the process of doing this they asked what the rash was on my back. i never look at my back so its bot something i pay much attention to. the rash is over my entire back and shoulders. the rash is red, circular and not raised. its slightly itchy but i think thats mainly because ive been thinking about it. i think it could be ringworm. im going to make an appointment with my GP.

It maybe a fungal infection if it is itchy. It is nothing to worry about if it is, you usually get a cream or tablets. If it is very itchy they may recommend you take some antihistamine as well. Make sure you wash your sheets and clothes on quite a high setting like 60 so that you don’t reinfect yourself.

thanks for the advice. it’s much appreciated.
