Does this look like ringworm?

DD, aged two, has this funny rash on her chest. It's 5 or 6 pinprick marks in a roundish shape, came up yesterday or Sat.

Any ideas? Will take her to the doctors tomorrow anyway, it doesn't itch or seem to bother her at all.

ringworm pictures

Def get the GP to check as it can spread if it is ringworm. Keep separate towel, flannel etc away from the rest of the family.

Nope doesn't look like any of those pictures although when I searched Google images earlier it looked a bit like one of the pictures.

It also says that ringworm is itchy and this isn't, perhaps I'll leave it a day or so and see if it develops.

I dont think ringworm comes up suddenly as it is a fungal infection which is spreading outward from central spot. (Bit like fairy circles) Is it contact dermatitis (allergy). If she were an adult I would say maybe she wore a cheap pendent!
Its an odd place to start with excema and it doesnt really look like it!
Skin conditions are the most difficult to get a handle on!

She does suffer from a little bit of eczema on her cheeks but it doesn't look the same. I've been racking my brains to try and work out if there is anything that she has come in contact with but am coming up with nothing but blanks!

Very annoying, I hate not knowing what things are! Thanks for all your ideas.
