A circular rash has appeared just below my c-sec scar - what is it? It doesn't really itch or anything but it is ugly and I want it gone! Seems like a bit of a trivial thing for the doctors but I don't really want to pull my pants down in Boots to show the pharmacist...any idea what it is and what to do to treat it would be most welcome TIA

Ringworm maybe, based on the shape.

I thought ringworm too, which is actually a fungal infection. Perhaps you could just show the photo to the pharmacist. I'm not medically qualified I should add.

So anti-fungal cream from the chemist should sort it out then?

Have you had what appeared to be a cold or a bit of a temp a few days ago?

Show your photograph to the pharmacist.

I'd just go ahead and show the photo. Pharmacists are very knowledgeable and will probably be able to sort you out. I know you feel cringy about showing them but to to be honest they won't bat an eyelid.

Herald patch from pityriasis rosea?
