Molluscum AND ringworm?

2 replies

Ds has had molluscum contagiosum for the last couple of months. Been using Molludab which is helping but not clear yet.

A couple of days ago I noticed a couple of patches of what looks like ringworm (he had this last year so known to us).

Is it even possible to have both together? Shall I treat them both at the same time? Would you see the GP? I'm a little worried about his immune system if he has both at once!

Totally possible to have both together. Ring worm is a fungal skin infections and mosculum is caused by a virus.

Or it could be a type of eczema that looks like ringworm
