Yep, it's ringworm, otherwise known as tinea corporis. At that stage, an over the counter antifungal cream should work just fine. It'll take about four weeks to go away. If it hasn't gone by then, you need to see a doctor for a stronger prescription. Good luck.
bug bite?
i would go to the doctor..not because it looks terrible or anything but because its always best to get something like this checked out by a professional..good luck :)
Could be ringworm.
It looks like a ringworm to me. You may have to go to the docs for oral medication or just get some fungus cream from the store, it may help it.
It looks like ringworm - go to your doctor for a prescription, otherwise it can spread.
Definitely ringworm.
Get to the doctor, or these will start spreading all over you.
They're contagious too.
It's a simple cure though.
ewww its a ring worm for real go to the doctor plz
Looks like ring worm to me. Does it itch? Ring worm is not acually a worm. It's a fungus. Anti-fungal cream should clear it up.
ring worm go to the doc!
Yee, deffo sounds like ringworm & look like ringworm. Ringworm is an infection of the skin, characterized by a reddish to brownish raised or bumpy patch of skin that may be lighter in the center, giving the appearance of a 'ring'. Contrary to its name, ringworm is not caused by a worm but by parasitic fungi (Dermatophytosis). It can exist anywhere on the body.
Fungi are tiny organisms that survive by eating plant or animal material, those that cause parasitic infection (dermatophytes) feed on keratin, the material found in the outer layer of skin, hair, and nails. These fungi thrive best on skin that is moist, hot, and hidden from the light. Together with the other dermatophytosis, up to 20 percent of the population has one of these infections at any given moment.
The best known sign of ringworm in people is the appearance of one or more red raised itchy patches with defined edges, not unlike the herald rash of Pityriasis rosea. These patches are often lighter in the center, taking on the appearance of a ring. If the infected area involves the scalp or beard area, then bald patches may become evident. The affected area may become itchy for periods of time.
Doctors can diagnose ringworm on sight, or they may take a skin scraping, or in the case of animal ringworm or tinea capitis, examine plucked hairs for fungal elements. This is examined under a microscope, or put on an agar plate in a microbiology laboratory and allowed to grow.
Sometimes a ringworm infection may cause skin lesions in a part of the body that is remote from the actual infection. Such lesions are called "dermatophytids". The lesions themselves are fungus-free, and normally disappear upon treatment of the actual infection. The most common example is an eruption in the hands resulting from a fungus infection of the feet.
Topical antifungal drugs containing miconazole (Daktarin, Micatin & Monistat), clotrimazole, terbinafine (Lamisil), butenafine and tolnaftate (Tinactin), many available without a prescription, are used to clear up the infection. Pyrithione zinc, found in Head and Shoulders shampoo, is a very effective treatment for ringworm on the scalp and can be used as a body wash to assist in overall treatment.
So yes, defiantely go to the doctors & they will give you some meds to take it away. Dont leave it as it will spread.
