The image you provided shows a round, scaly, red patch on the skin, which is suggestive of tinea corporis, commonly known as ringworm. This is a fungal infection of the skin.

Possible Diagnoses and Likelihoods:

1. Tinea Corporis (Ringworm) – 80%

   • Classic round/oval lesion with raised, scaly border and central clearing.

   • Caused by dermatophyte fungi (like Trichophyton species).

2. Nummular Eczema – 10%

   • Coin-shaped lesions, but usually more itchy and less defined at the border.

   • Not fungal; typically related to dry skin or allergens.

3. Psoriasis (Plaque Type) – 5%

   • May present with red, scaly patches, but typically not as circular.

   • Chronic and often more widespread.

4. Granuloma Annulare – 3%

   • Ring-like but not scaly; usually smooth and less inflamed.

   • Often resolves on its own.

5. Cutaneous Lupus or Other Dermatoses – 2%

   • Rare, but can sometimes mimic ringworm-like lesions.

   • Often with other systemic signs.

Suggested Remedies for Tinea Corporis:

1. Topical Antifungal Treatment (First-line)

• Clotrimazole 1%, Miconazole 2%, or Terbinafine 1% cream.

• Apply twice daily for 2–4 weeks (continue 1 week after symptoms clear).

2. Oral Antifungal Medication (If widespread or resistant)

• Terbinafine 250 mg once daily for 2–4 weeks.

• Fluconazole or Itraconazole are alternatives.

3. General Care

• Keep the area clean and dry.

• Avoid sharing towels, clothing, or personal items.

• Wash bedding and clothes frequently during treatment.

4. When to See a Doctor

• If no improvement after 2 weeks of topical treatment.

• If lesion spreads rapidly or multiple patches appear.

• If you are immunocompromised or diabetic.
