Could be. Do they get eczema as there is a form of that (discoid) that can look like ringworm too

Yes he is prone to eczema. Will stick a load of emollient on and see if that helps. Thanks,.

Anything new used on his skin like a local reaction to something

Possibly granuloma annulare if slightly raised but could be one of a number of things

I googled it. There are images on the nhs website. It looks exactly like ringworm. Fungal infection can be treated with anti fungal cream. Not worms which I thought ring worm was eek.

This looks very similar to the ringworm my DD had last year. Some cream from the docs cleared it up very quickly
