It cropped up on my scalp and behind my left shoulder. After a couple of weeks, I went to the doctor. He gave me antibiotics/steroid. It dramatically reduced the symptoms, but not totally. He repeated the treatment. I still have about 15 spots on my chest,one or two on the shoulder and a couple on my scalp. They are red circles about the size of a nickle, that crust in the center, some have a white dot and are very itchy. I have used calamine/benadryl, neosporin. It hasn't spread, and no one else in the house has any symptoms. Any ideas?
