Answer 1

i had somthing like that and do you have more than one and one big one and did you hvae a high high feaver if so then you probly have lime dease you wont die but check wit your doc anyway

Answer 2

i cannot really tell because of the glare... it could be ring worm... but is there a possibility that it can also be a burn? again, the glare is making it hard to tell. If it does spread to the rest of the family she will be given a cream.... and possinly talk to the dr and see if he can give you an extra tube for the family- or if he has any samples of it ask him if you can have some.

Answer 3

It's possible, but the pic is a little close and blurry, so it's kind of hard to tell. Ringworm can be treated with athlete's foot cream, as it is a fungus. It is mildly contagious.

Answer 4

Looks like it.

You can safely wait until your doctors appointment.  I think it's somewhat contagious - so have folks wash their hands.

Answer 5

it might be.

Answer 6

IT could possibly be. Just to be safe you could get some ringworm cream. It couldn't hurt and you can find it at almost any drugstore. I bet if you have a Rite Aid near you you can get it there!

Answer 7

The picture is a little too close, but that is what it looks like. You don't have to take her to the doctor, just go get some medicine for athletes foot. Yes, it is contagious, but they are fairly easy to get rid of. Just make sure everyone washes with anti bacterial soap.

Answer 8

It does look like it, but I am no doctor, so honestly I don't know.

Yes it can be spread to the family, as its mildly contagious.

Good luck, hope all turns out well

Answer 9

If it is ringworm, it's highly contageous.  Just cover it with a bandaid until you get to the doctor.  I was also told that athlete's foot cream will treat ringworm, but i'm not sure if that's true.

Answer 10

I'm not a doctor but it looks like it. Buy some lotrimin, apply it and keep the area completely covered until you can get to the doctor. Gauze and medical tape would probably be better than a band aid, just to make sure all sides are covered. It's not a big deal but it is contagious. Good luck! =]

Answer 11

easy way to see if it is is put a black light up to it in a totally dark room, usually it will start glowing if it is ringworm but certain ones don't glow. either way i'd go see the doctor. oh by the way has she been bitten latley? I know my b/f's little girl looks like she has ringworm on her cheek but it's just where her cousin bit her. I'd just put some lotrimin on a cotton swab and rub it over the area to be on the safe side. during the day wear a bandaid over the area and at not keep it open so it can breathe. yes it is very contarious.

Answer 12

That is exactly what it looks like.  You could go to the store and get some  Lotrimin (cream) and use that and make sure to keep the area covered to keep it from spreading.   My daughter had ring worm once and it freaked me out but it really is no big deal..

Answer 13

u can't see the pic very well so just wait and get it checked by the doctor. good luck!
