Ringworm?

I work in the NHS in long term inpatient care … I’ve had exposure to it via work. Unavoidable, short of wearing full body PPE right through shifts. Handwash and hand gel etc as advised etc.

I’ve developed this tiny little rash on my forearm last 2 days, it’s itchy/burning - woke me from sleep.

It’s bloody ringworm isn’t it 😐

I work abroad with stray cats and have caught ringworm from them a couple of times and your rash certainly looks like you've got it. Daktarin from the pharmacy usually gets rid pretty quickly and takes any itch out of it. Its annoying so you have my sympathy!
