Hey everyone I'm new to this.

This started on Thursday as two small spots on my leg. Less than a week later (see pic) what this could be??? My GP said it's a skin infection and put me on antibiotics and gave me a cream but I don't think it's working and its beginning to hurt, any advice please.

Its typical ringworm infection.

I had it allover my body n I'm cured nw. Jst Tab Fluconazole in correct dose will do the wonders. Don't discontinue treatment in between even if u feel u r alright. It reoccurs in full swing if not cured completely.

Best course of action is to go back to your GP. Many things can cause this and it needs careful examination, diagnosis and treatment.
