It started on her neck — then her collarbone, chin, jawline, both cheeks, and her forehead. Dr. Bayo walks through what doctors consider for a spreading red rash: ringworm, candida, seborrheic dermatitis (the one that often goes under the radar), bacterial skin infection, and contact dermatitis from something as simple as a new lotion or detergent. And the tip worth saving even if you never get a rash: if a specialist can’t see you for weeks and things are getting worse, call back, tell them it’s progressing, and ask to be put on the cancellation list. Appointments open up more often than you’d think.
A spreading rash deserves eyes on it sooner, not later 💛

I also thought of ringworm
This is not ring worm. Also, can be a heat rash. I thought I would see a solution to my problem, but you’re saying the same thing that google is saying.
lichen planis
I just had this from using new washing detergent but my spots were small 😮
Called for doctor apt this week
First opening in February 😮
Such lack of doctors today😢
Whatever it is, stop touching it and spreading it to other areas!
Gross.. wash ur neck lol
Telemedicine may work to get seen quickly.
Hives in the hot areas. Histamine issues?
My first thought was hands, foot, mouth disease… my son got this in TK and adults can actually get this too.
I thought she was having an allergic reaction to some jewelry. Thanks, Doc, for the information ❤
Urgent care or go to your primary care doctor
If this woman wasn't a doctor already I would urge her to work as an audio book narrator, her voice is lovely
I hope she goes to the ER and not wait around for the a dermatologist appointment
Fungus amongst us
I thought it looked like a yeast infection. This may sound strange, but over the counter miconazole cream can help. The brand name is Monistat. The same medicine that you would use for a vaginal yeast infection. It also treats ringworm. If you aren’t able to get to the dermatologist sooner or if urgent care is not able to help, I would try Monistat cream. Best of luck to you! I hope you find relief soon.
Looks like yeast
I wish all Dr's were like her❤
Voice is so calm and soothing
My son is a sweaty little boy and we deal with candida every now and then. Athlete's foot cream combined with frequent clothing changes and sleeping naked in cotton sheets so the sweating doesn't persist always clears up his skin folds in a few days
🙏🙏
Could this be a allergic reaction
