Answer 4

Ringworm is not actually a "worm", but instead a fungal infection called "tinea". The areas on the body (tinea corpus) do in fact look like slightly raised, red rings, but again it is a wives-tale that the skin disorder is actually a worm beneath the skin. You can treat it by applying any over the counter antifungal medication, like Lotromin or Tinactin. By the way, it's the same fungus that causes jock itch and athletes foot.  Hope this helps.  As far as pictures go, any web search will score you loads of examples.  

Answer 5

lamisil works great for it its for athletes foot but it works great on ringworm

Answer 6

It looks like a circle shape its raised up a little, and red. Don't be alarmed but get it treated as soon as possible. Look on google images and type in ringworm to see different pictures of it to see if its similar to yours. Then go to a doctor and if it ends up to be ringworm they give you a cream to put on it and in a period of ten days or less its gone.

Hope I helped!

good luck =)

Answer 10

Itchy, red, raised, scaly patches that may blister and ooze. The patches often have sharply-defined edges. They are often redder around the outside with normal skin tone in the center. This may create the appearance of a ring.

Ringworm is caused by a fungus and can be treated with antifungal cream, but call your doctor if it seems infected (swelling, warm to the touch, or worsening redness).

Answer 11

Go to the doctor to make sure, then they will prescribe you a lotion that will make it not contagious and go away.
