abrasion or ringworm?!


Question: Abrasion or ringworm?
my 5 year old son, was playing stupidly and he dragged his forehead against the carpet-and a round abrasion showed up.

i also looked up what ringworm looks like, and it looks the same as his 'abrasion'. is there a chance it could be ringworm?

Answers:

Ok..does it itch?..Ringworm usually itches and then spreads..Sounds like an abrasion..Do you have cats or dogs?..You could check them for 'spots' as this is usually the way humans contact ringworm..BUT, if he doesn't scratch the place then chances are it isn't ringworm..
