    Hi all,

    I've got a rash on my right ankle. Had it for a couple of weeks, I think. This is it at the weekend:

    I went to the doc a couple of days ago. He had a look, and said he wasn't sure what he was, but
    didn't think it was anything to worry about, and didn't think that it was fungal. But if he didn't
    know what it was, then how could he be so sure? He asked if it itched. It doesn't at all.

    He prescribed Elocon (Mometasone furoate). I had this a couple of years ago for atopic eczema. After
    a couple of days, there is no improvement, infact I think the rash is a bit darker if anything:

    between this pic and the previous one.

    Anyone got any ideas? I moved house a couple of weeks ago and was wondering if it could be some sort
    of parasite, but to be honest don't remember if I had the rash before moving. Also thought shingles,
    but I thought that itches.

    It looks like a contact dermatitis. I'd give the Elocon a bit more time to work.
