Ringworm?

[Mamabeartotwo]

anyone with past experience, is this ringworm? Waiting on doctors appointment but just out of curiosity while I wait

Looks like it is it bumped?

When I had it (caught it from my cat) it literally looked like a red ring, with a hole in the centre.

If you have a UV light or torch, you can check if it's ringworm, as it glows under UV light.

Is it intensely itchy? Ringworm is very very itchy and annoying. I always just slap on some Canesten twice or three times a day and give it a couple of days to see if there is any improvement.

Ringworm tends to have an outer red ring with a lighter colour in the centre

It does look like ringworm. Mine wasn't a perfect circle. It was just a scaly red patch. It was very itchy. It went away quickly with the antifungal cream

When he was 4/5, my son had an identical rash to this - assuming ringworm he was prescribed some kind of steroid cream but it didn't work at all. In frustration, I saw another doctor who quickly diagnosed discoid eczema. Prescribed another cream which cleared it in a few days. I'd say this looks far more like the rash my son had - identical, in fact!

But obvs check with your GP.

It doesn't look like my ringworm but everyone is different. Check with a GP.
