“Weird rash?”
A rash has recently appeared on the crease of my thigh and my lower belly. It’s a pretty large circle outlined in red and the inside is darker than my actual skin color. The rash has an odor to it as well. Is there anything I can apply to make this go away?

The rash you're describing, with its red outline, darker center, and odor, could be indicative of a fungal infection like ringworm or another type of skin infection. These infections often cause red, circular rashes and can sometimes have a distinctive smell.
We recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Shafa at IrvineSkin in Irvine, Orange County, to get an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Dr. Shafa can prescribe antifungal creams or other treatments to address the infection and help the rash heal.

Do you have a history of psoriasis? if not it may be fungal. best to see a dermatologist. get a biopsy or skin scraping and get treated. Best of luck.
This may represent Candida/Intertrigo or Erythrasma which can be easily treated with prescription creams and/or pills. It is best to see a local Dermatologist to further evaluate and treat.
