I have a type of skin lesion on the back of my neck that looks much like a ringworm. However, I went to the Dr. and she informed me that it was not a ringworm but instead a bacterial infection (I may have been "clipped" when getting the base of my hairline buzzed at the beautician and bacteria got in the small cut causing a bacterial infection)...after taking a Rx of penicillin and using Rx topical ointment, Alcortin, it still has not gone away. It fades but then comes right back. It is red, in the shape of a circle, is dry and does itch at times, not constantly, and sometimes flakes. It has not spread, like a ringworm can. It is at the base of my hairline. What could it be and how could I get rid of it?
