Dermatologist or your GP for diagnosis and treatment. :) xx

I second what Agora1 said--

We are not doctors, so we cannot diagnose you. Please see a doctor

check with a dermatologist. There is a telephone doctor service called Teladoc. They have dermatologists available. You must send them a photo of the skin problem. It costs $75 for a phone conversation. Otherwise, you might want to go to an urgent care facility where you can be seen in person. I am suggesting these options because you sound extremely worried. If you can wait a few days the best solution, as others have suggested, is to make an appointment with a dermatologist in your area.

And/Or put otc anti fungal cream on it. That’s harmless. Otherwise haven’t a clue.

Doesn't look like ringworm but I'm not a doctor. Can try w fungal cream from the drug store or a clove of garlic 🧄. Just slice open the clove and rub it on the area. That's what my mom used to do. Don't it if your like allergic to garlic!

A doctor would need to diagnose, but there are many different skin conditions that are unpleasant but harmless. You just need the right remedy, usually a topical cream. I have had a variety of them. If you see a general dr and dont like their answer, try a dermatologist. Take care of yourself.

It does not look like ringworm to me. It looks like a spider bite. Get some Aveeno Colloidal Oatmeal and mix a teaspoon with some water to make a paste and coat the area until it dries.

Ringworm is a fungus. It would also work with the oatmeal, but that does not look like ringworm.

Not what you're looking for?
