Ringworm?? a pinch? I have no clue what this is on carter!

Carter has this tiny little roun circle that is like purple and red on his arm.  It kind of resembles what a cigarette burn would look like but isnt that.  But it is the same size as that would be. It is only there and he doenst act like it hurts at all.  Do you think it was maybe something that pinched him that left it? My DH says ringworm is bigger???  Its so weird.

  • Could be a bite. Keep your eyes peeled for more of the same spots. Is it ringworm that causes the itchy butt?

  • I would go ahead and treat for ringworm just in case, since it is so contagious. You can use Lotrimin or any antifungal on it and it will go away in a few days.

  • I got ringworm from one of my patients once and it was small.  I thought it was a mosquito bite at first...then it "peeled" and it literally looked like a ring (but size of a mosquito bite).  The only symptoms was that it was itchy.  I just used an OTC anti-fungal and it worked just fine.

    Thanks, too many worms. And I already know what pinworm is about. Had it as a kid. NOT FUN. I can imagine the images are horrifying.

  • FYI ringworm is not actually a "worm" it's a fungus!  Same thing as athlete's foot and jock itch, ew!!

  • I think a ringworm starts small but gets bigger if left untreated, butI don't think they are purple.  It wouldn't hurt to put Lotrimin on it though.  It could be some kind of a bug bite.  I'd keep an eye on it.
  • Ringworm is also raised, just slightly.  Any antifungal will kill it, but it does take a week or two.
