Can anyone tell me what my skin condition is?
It started on one foot. A small red area appears about size of 5 cent piece with raised edges. It itches on and off and gets bigger and bigger.
A couple of years on and the small redness spread to cover my foot top and around my ankle. After months (approx) it spreads to anew area and slowly fades from previous areas.
I know have it on my other foot (top) and have now just discovered a new outbreak starting on my thigh.
Does anyone know what this condition is called and can it be cured?

You need to make an appointment with a Dermatologist immediately.
It's hard to believe you have allowed it to go on so long without
Medical attention. It could be a skin condition or might be a symptom
Of something more serious, something internal.

First, never scratch your skin... you will tear it all up and that increases the chance of bacteria entering in the torn places.

At this point, get a dermatologist's opinion. :)

Trust me... I have seen endless doctors.
None of them know what it is, hence why I thought I'd try this forum.

Back to the drawing board I guess, and try some new doc's
