Found this on my 6 year old today. Not near any animals that I know off and it’s not itchy or bothering her I just noticed it when I changed her. She does suffer from an itchy eczema on her thigh and bum and belly but never her arms? But wouldn’t have a clear circle like that off it ever?

Does it look long ringworm? Not a raised red edge around it just flat around it and dry. Going to chemist in the morning but just wanted to know

One of my dd had ringworm last year and it had a more defined circle around the edge (and when we treated it as though it was eczema it then spread to other parts of her body!). Our pharmacist took one look and sold us a tube of canesten

more like excema to me. My DS has ringworm and the edge was more defined then the middle bit.
