Aaaaagggghhhhh! Is this ringworm!?!?!
Question: Aaaaagggghhhhh! Is this ringworm!!?!!?
On Saturday after going rockclimbing, I realised I had some itchy scrape patches the front of my knees, and round the elbows etc, or at least I thought I'd just banged/scraped them!. That's all it looked like!.
On Monday morning, they were feeling really itchy, and looked again, and they're now looking like ringworms!. Argh!
There's at least 7 patches of them - but, I didn't think ringworms grew this fast!!?
From this morning until 2!.25pm, they've increased in size by about 1cm in diameter (!.5cm radius), and 3 close small ones have fused into one large one!.
I'm getting other itchy patches, but they're entirely filled in, no hole in the middle!.
I stayed over at someone's house on Friday, wearing shorts and tshirt, and that's the only place I can think of that I might have picked it up, but doesn't it have a longer incubation period than a day!? Did I scrape my arms and then have them get it infected!?
Should it be growing so fast if it's ringworm!?
It's horrifying!

Take a bath in vinnegar and hot water!. It works!. or go to the doc!. you can look up pics of ringworm on the internet and see if they are the same!. sometimes you gotta scroll through the picsWww@Answer-Health@Com
It could be ringworm, but I don't think so!. Ringworm looks like a ring, not a filled-in circle!. Also, there's no reason for you to be so horrified by it - ringworm is a fungal infection, NOT a worm!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A teacher I work with swears but iodine, it dries them out!. It will take a few days to dry them, don't scratch them it will spread them!. Also limit contact other people have with them as well!.
You may have contracted it by having a scratch and dirty water touched it or somethingWww@Answer-Health@Com

I couldn't see the pictures for some reason, but even without the pictures I have some advice!. Put some mustard (yes, I said mustard) on the spots and if it burns like fire its ringworm!. I don't know why so can't explain it, but it's and old wives talw, and it works!. If it burns then go see your doctor!. I would go see the doctor anyways, but if you want to know right now do the mustard thing!. GOOD LUCK!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
