Does this look like Ringworm?

Dd had this on her leg last night when she got ready for bed. I immediately thought Ringworm and after a google I put canesten on it which I already had in the house. I applied again whilst she was asleep and it’s gone this morning.

Ive stripped her bed this morning and changed her sheets, but she was in my bed the night before. Do I need to change all my sheets too? What else do I need to do?

Would ringworm have gone that quickly? I was going to take her to the pharmacy but there’s nothing there now - do I take her and show the photo or just keep going with the cream?

Yes, looks like ringworm. Keep treating or it will come back.

I’ll take the pic to the pharmacy. What other measures do I need to take to treat it and stop it spreading?

Personally I change your bed as well, and maybe any towls they may have used or teddies that might live in their bed. Then just keep going religiously with the cream
