A 32-year-old male is seen by his GP due to a skin rash he has had for a few months now

A 32-year-old male is seen by his GP due to a skin rash he has had for a few months now. He describes it as being slightly itchy. He works as a builder and had originally thought it was ringworm for which he had used some over the counter cream for. He states initially it was just on his elbow, but that he has noticed it on his back too. On examination, he has a 4cm area on his left lateral forearm that is generally red with some white scaling. It is oval in shape, with clear borders. He has similar areas across his lower back.
