i’m sorry if this silly and idk if this is the right place to post this but there is a small flat red rash thingy on my leg and i’m not sure where it came from. It doesn’t hurt or itch or anything, i don’t even feel it at all, no pain no bleeding, nothing. It’s gotten a little more red over time, i’m terrified that’s it’s skin cancer or some other horrible thing what do i do😟...what does it look like 😥

Update: so i put some tea tree oil, witch hazel and A&D ointment and it’s practically gone now😅phew

Hello :-)

Nothing is silly if it is a worry to you :-)

We cannot diagnose as we are not Doctors but I have had rashes like that before and it can be something simple like dry skin or eczema which you can buy some cream for

It possibly will just go back down in a few days on it's own , if it gets worse then ask your Doctor or a pharmacist and they will reassure you :-) x

No question is ever silly or stupid! I have that as well but not just in one spot. And mine gets worse when the weather changes and or anxiety. If you have a walk-in clinic, I would highly suggest just having someone look at it to make sure it's nothing to worry about? Has anything bitten you by chance? spider bite? Tick, etc???

It wouldn't hurt to have someone look at it to make sure it's nothing to worry about. There are so many causes of rashes! Please get it checked?

Hi Could it be an allergic reaction to something or do you have dermatitis? Also I just wanted to say that its ok to ask for advice and or to share because someone may be able to help. Maybe ask your doctor or call your insurance and speak to a nurse??
