Ringworm normally has a ring with normal skin in the middle. Could still be fungal though. Maybe consult a pharmacist

Yes it does. Get some cream before the bugger spreads.

When my DS had ringworm it was definitely raised and red round the outside but not in the middle. So no, it doesn’t look like ringworm to me

Pharmacy is a good shout.

A bit. Try some athletes foot cream on it if you have any, it’s the same stuff that the pharmacist will give you (10 year old had it last year)

Thank everyone! Going to nip to the pharmacy this morning 😊
