My child has dry skin since he was born, I try to moisturise it as much as possible his skin doesn’t take well with a lot of creams either or baby oil coconut oil is fine thankfully. But I noticed this patch on his leg today I don’t think he itches at it I haven’t noticed him doing that. Is this just a dry skin patch and j need to moisturise it more? Or could it be ring worm he’s never had anything like this before.

It does look like ringworm. If you go to a chemist the pharmacist can tell and can give you an ointment.

@Thislittlekitten
i was thinking the same it does look similar to ringworm I will definitely go pharmacy tomorrow and speak to them. Do I need to show them face to face or I can just show the photo you reckon? Because my little one won’t be happy if I have to take his trouser of to show them lol

When my daughter had it I did take her. They possibly might accept a picture. Worth a try. Good luck it cleared quite quickly with the ointment.
