Is this ringworm?

Is it possible to have ringworm with only one scaly circular patch on my upper leg? It has been there for months but nowhere else.

Looks like dry skin to me

When I had ringworm I had only one patch on my wrist. I got lamisil 1% gel prescribed (I think). It took a wee while to go but never spread anywhere else and no-one else caught it either

Yes it is possible, I had ring worm in the same position, it grew quite big though. I would go to the doctors so you can get some treatment for it.

I have had ring worm twice and looked nothing like that. It was very clearly a red circular ring. That looks like a small patch of eczema or dry skin. Try an intense moisturiser on it x
