What is this odd thing on my arm? Eczema (never had it before!), something else?

[Rashhhh]

I have this in two places on my arm. It’s sore! I haven’t had anything like it before.

What could it be?

A bite?

Looks like ringworm

Ringworm normally has a more defined edge but that could still develop. How long have you had it op?

I noticed it about two days ago so very recent. I don’t think a bite because I’m always getting bitten and I know what they feel / look like on me - this feels like dry, bumpy skin and is sore.

Ringworm! Now that sounds scary!

Would a pharmacist know? Doesn’t feel like a doctor thing?

I've never suffered from eczema except for a brief period when I had a bit that looked something like that - I was a chemistry student and assume there was something in the lab I reacted to.

So I guess it's possible it's something like that.

Pharmacist sounds like a good first port of call.

Does it match up with this OP? https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/discoid-eczema/

Not sure about ringworm, ime it's usually more of a ring with a centre. (it's not really a worm, it's a fungal infection)

It could be that? It isn’t totally dissimilar!

If it’s ringworm it will respond to Canesten pretty quickly.
