[Rasputin]

Pharmacist says Ringworm, so on with the cream

Had ringworm once myself went for a small spot like you have to covering my entire lower arm in 24 hours was horrendous!!!

Receding now, just have to use the whole of the cream supply up

Just looks like ordinary dermatitis to me, I get the occasional flare-up on my legs. Little bit of moisturiser fixes it up.

Have you considered ebola or leprosy? A friend of mine had a rash just like that...he died...

I had ringworm once and it took 9 different doctors and 5 weeks before the last Dr diagnose it as ringworm. They all said it was impetigo and treated me with many various spectrum of antibiotics which obviously had no affect on the ringworm so it got much worse. It was eventually diagnosed by a Dr who was a farmers daughter, she recognised it straight away and thankfully the treatment and pain relief started to work immediately. It got so bad that it left me with permanent scaring to my face, I will post pictures later once I find the old photos. My advice is don't always believe what the Drs say - I always carry an antifungal treatment now.

Pictures now attached. Forgot to add that mine looked and started identically as the original OP did and quickly spread all over my body. It actually got worse than in the photos as it was several days after the photos were taken before it was diagnosed and treated correctly.

I reckon ringworm glows under UV light/Black light, i'm sure our vet told me this?

Looks like ring worm to me seen in the arms of my old farmer friend. His solution used engine oil . It's worked for him and the calfs. If it was me doctors

In the meantime here's something to lighten the topic. And BTW I also think its ringworm.

Anyway bloke I knew thought he had ringworm around his knob piece. A vivid scarlet red circle all the way around.

He saw his Doctor who told him that warm water and soap would sort it.

He was amazed.

"Really, Doctor? Soap and warm water will cure ringworm?"

"No. But it'll do to wash off your girlfriend's lipstick. Now, off you go, I've another patient to see."

Reminds me of the fella I knew whose knob turned yellow. He saw the doctor, of course, and was asked if he'd had any major lifestyle changes. Turned out his redundancy had resulted in him spending a lot of time at home eating Wotsits and watching porn . . . . . .

My old girl always swore by white iodine for ringworm. It worked on us kids and no scars left.

Sunlight helps a lot too (so long as it is in a place appropriate to be exposed to sunlight).

Then there was the girl who went in to ask about the blue/green rash she had on her inner thighs.
The doctor took a look and siad, "There is good news and bad news".
The good news is, it is not serious. The bad news, your boyfriends ear-rings are not real gold."
