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
