DD2 (6) has a cm sized patch on the sole of her foot which is a ring of red dots. Is it a worm virus, can it be caught from horses?
Your wisdom will be appreciated!!

Ringworm is actually a fungal infection, not a worm - don't know much more about it, but it is catching so wouldn't do bare feet.

Doens't sound like roundworm at all! Those are actual worms, and live in the gut - nothing to do with feet

HTH...

Hand, foot and mouth disease?

Could be ring worm, you can get some cream from the pharmasist for a couple of quid (I currently have it on my legs) yes you can catch it from horses/cattle etc
