Got 2 new guinea pigs a few weeks ago and they had to go to the vet as they had a couple of little bald patches - vet suspected ringworm. They have got better but now dd2 (5) has a circle on her trunk. I thought someone had bitten her, but when I looked closely it was a ring of tiny blisters. She has also been scratching at her head and made the scalp bleed - bad mummy that I am I thought she had picked off an old bit of cradle cap, but now think ringworm. Se said her head itches, but not her body. Does this sound like ringworm?
Hopefully taking her to the gp tomorrow - fully booked for next week, so receptionist told me to phone and use an urgent appointment tomorrow. Is this something that a pharmacist could look at and suggest something?
