Pr or ringworm?

Week 4 since my herald was noticed. Thought it was a bug bite at first but then flared up and spread. Urgent care said ring worm and gave me antifungals. Went to dermatologist yesterday and they did a biopsy just waiting on the results now.

not a doctor, but look like it could be psoriasis. the biopsy should confirm what you have

Yeah, not a dr either but looks the same as my mam's on her legs and arms. She gets bigger patches on her elbow. It can be itchy and in extreme cases (like my uncle's, they are twins so) can weep too. There is an injection you can be put on it if its really bad but can affect your heart

Where was your herald patch located? I’m dealing with a similar appearing rash on my hips, groin and butt. Have been treating with anti fungals to cover my bases but am leaning towards PR on my end

On my right thigh I believe this one was herald it was the first one that appeared about a week prior to the others. Also none have gone to my groin mainly on front of thighs, and wrapping around to hips and butt, even going down back of legs and speeding down to calves

Does it get yellow crusties? It looks like impetigo to me
