Ds has a cut/rash thing on his leg. It started out really small circle and has gradually gotten bigger. Can't decide if it needs looking at or not. No itching and not bothered by it. Just gotten over a horrible cold.

Any ideas

Could it be a tick?

Looks likely may be ring worm. Ask a pharmacist to take a look and if it is they can give you something for it.

Also put a pen mark on it, just on each side and you can then easily tell if it’s getting bigger.

Looks like ringworm.

I've had a look at ring worm pictures. The edges of the circle are like a cut rather than bumpy bits you get with ring worm

Absolutely ringworm!
Got to the local pharmacy and ask for something for it, this is something they can help with rather than a doctor.

At least check it's not ringworm to rule it out. A standard cut or graze wouldn't enlarge in size.

Ringworm, get some cream from chemist.

It doesn't always conform to a set edge pattern. I would definitely be thinking ringworm and showing a pharmacist.

Molluscum contagiosum?

NuffSaidSam · 06/12/2022 19:08

I'd get a pharmacist to look at it.

grayhairdontcare · 06/12/2022 19:08

That's ringworm
