Mark on toddler’s back- picture in comments
Is this some kind of rash? She was with her dad yesterday and he said last night it was smaller than this (a little bigger than the size of a quarter) and more round. He took her to the park yesterday so I thought it might be a burn from the slide? He thought it might be a bug bite since it was more round but now it’s longer. She also has a cough that just started yesterday but no fever that I’ve detected yet.
I’ll put a picture in the comments. It was hard to get a good picture so I wanted to include the video too so y’all can tell where it is, how dark red it is, and how big it is on her.

Should we be concerned or can we wait until Monday
He has the obvious ringworm looking thing on this hairline, but these other two red bumps on his cheek are new. It is Sunday. Can we wait until Monday for him to be seen?

Is this ringworm? A spot similar to this appeared on 4-year olds arm a few months ago, then it cleared up, and then another on his face a few weeks ago, that one also cleared up but it’s still a dry spot. This is the most recent one on his leg. Doctor is thinking it’s eczema.

My toddler’s elbow scar changed into itchy white/pink bumps??
Hi, my toddler fell and scraped his elbow over the summer. It scabbed up and fell off naturally and looked like a smooth pink scar, but within the last few days, it started looking bumpy and he says it itches. Is this psoriasis or something else?

Unknown spot on fiance's (31f) face
This should have about a week and a half to two weeks ago. At first it looked like a pimple a little bit red and smaller. Was slightly itchy. Then it got darker almost purplish and now it is as you see in the photo. In the beginning there was some blood and recently she scratched off a white/semi skin coloree scab that bled a little.

Red patch under armpit
20’s, male, no meds, no smoking
It’s about the size of a nickel and has been getting progressively more pink over the last couple weeks. Doesn’t feel like anything. Any ideas?
It doesn’t itch or hurt. I really don’t know what this is. I thought I’d get an opinion before scheduling a dermatology appointment.

Bumps after acetone burn
After a couple months of slow healing despite getting daily skin irritation at work, my acetone burn finally seemed to be healed but then broke out in bumps after working again. I’ve used medihoney to finally get it to heal and use petroleum jelly at work to keep it protected. I’ve stopped using band aids because of the irritation it causes. Thanks in advance!

Is this athletes foot or dry skin?
I recently found out I have a fungal infection under the nail of my big toe. I've been treating it how my doctor wants me to. However, now the bottoms of my feet are extremely dry and I can't tell if this is the start of athletes foot..please give advice

What is this rash? Comes and goes for months now.
For over 6 months now I have noticed this rash on the back of my head appear. Been to the doctors countless times and nothing seems to permanently get rid of it. First thought it was fungal but anti fungal creams have no effect. Only thing that seems to get rid of it is a steroid cream but it then reappears. Please help!
