same type of spot

I have an egg shape red spot on my inner arm near the bend of the arm and it looks simular to the one in the picture of her arm.It seems to be just the skin, very slightly raised and does not hurt, itch, etc.I have had this spot for about 1 month.

Hi,

It could be an allergic reaction to something you brushed up against. People can develop reactions from anything like: new laundry detergent or drier sheets. Soaps, creams, perfumes...even certain metals and jewelry.

You might want to have a doctor look at it. Especially if you start to notice any other symptoms like a fever.

i have a spot that looks just like this but it feels like a ball and its on my foot. it hurts when i step on it.
what is it?

Hi There,

Unfortunately, I'm not a doctor so I really couldn't tell you what that spot is. It could a number of things....if it's hard, then it could be some sort of cyst.

You should probably see a podiatrist especially if it hurts to walk on it.

What did this turn out to be? I have two spots exactly like that except they are located on my side, under my arm.

They don't itch or appear swollen, the best description is that they are like quarter sized rug-burns. the oddest part is that they appeared over night... should i go see a doctor?

Hello,

Usually ringworm (which is a fungal infection) appear as perfectly round sized rash....as you described. But they usually itch too.

I would see a doctor if I were you. Especially, if you are experiencing any other symptoms like headache or fever.
