I found dry circles in different areas of my skin, one's on the side of my left calf and one's on the underside of my forearm. They're little pinkish round dry areas with flaky skin and sort of itchy... i've gone to the doctor but she said it's normal dry skin and i should just use lotion.
I've been using lotions but that doesn't seem to work, the circles are still there and don't seem to be going away. help! serious answers please... thanks!!!

oh, the circles are no bigger than a dime... and the dry flaky skin forms a ring on the edge of the circle... is this the early onset of psoriasis?

Thats early stages of psoriasis. Id sugest you get some cream or something soon...it gets worse. I have severe psoriasis and they said the same thing..."oh its just dry skin...use lotion" it wasnt.

thats exactly what ringworm is! i had it as a kid. u DONT get it from not showering! u DO get it from things like picking up stray animals that have it, thats how i got it. psoriasis doesnt have the ring around the outside.

Most likely rosacea. Could be diet related. See a dermatologist and get it taken care of. What are you waiting for?
