has anyone had the same thing?


Question Posted Tuesday August 23 2005, 6:53 pm

I know you guys arent doctors. And I'm going to go to the doctors soon for a physical. But I have this red thing on the shin of my leg. It's not raised, and it doenst itch. It just seems like dry skin. Pinkish/red. Ive had it for like 2 or 3 weeks. It used to be the size of a dime, now its the size of a quarter. Once again, it's not raised. But I'm just wondering if anyone had the same thing, and that it is. thanks.

FunnyCide is right it could be eczema. that usually occurs in the folds of your skin though. it might not itch in the begining but it could start to. they just give you some cream to put on it and it should go away.

It could be ringworm or eczema. When you go for your physical, ask specifically about it. The doctor will be able to diagnose it. If it's ringworm, they'll perscribe a simple lotion/pill to help rid your body of it, or if it's eczema, they'll give you something for that.

It could just be a patch of dry skin. And from the description you gave, it DOES sound like ecsema (sp?) which I have too, but it doesn't itch so I'm not really sure what it could be. My mom has something like that on her chin, and it's just a dry patch of skin that doesn't itch and she needed to use medicated cream to get it to go away. It could be the same thing for you. But that's really all I can tell you. When you go to the doctors, they'll know MUCH better than all of us.
