Does anybody know where I can find out what these are.

they vary in size roughly between a 5p piece and a 50p piece... are very circular

they don't itch or feel sore or dry.

any suggestions anyone?

I thought ringworm, but I've had that before and that was more a rash that a circle made by dots iywim. Also ringworm itches, this doesn't itch - isn't dry or anything..

can I have more interest in my rsh puuuuurrrrleeeeease

It does sound like ringworm I had it when I was pregnant.

Try typing ringworm photo into a search engine & compare. The NHS direct book also has a photo in the back, apparently it doesnt always itch.

purplemonkeydishwasher · 13/10/2006 10:22

oh dear...

SOULGIRL · 13/10/2006 10:23

If the NHS direct site was flashing at you it probably thinks youve got meningitis "pin prick rash", I dont think you would be able to post on here if that was the case!!

bubble99 · 13/10/2006 10:26

Are you sure it's not ringworm? The circular pattern sounds typical of it.

lol at scabies - there was someone posting the other day and I was sure it was scabies (can't find it now - they had just got back from holiday to Cyprus!)

Yes, I would say ringworm.

Bubble, have been meaning to catch you before you disappear for half term.
