Hello, I'm here to ask about something for my boyfriend.
Last night I was looking through his head and on the back of his head (around the medula area) he had these red circles. They seem somewhat dry circles, and there are more than one. The circles also vary in size. Some are more red than others too.
I'm quite worried. What could it be? Also, what could I do to treat it?

IT sounds like ringworm, You can get an OTC med...its the same thing you buy for foot fungus. It is really contagious so its important to wash the sheets and pillowcases often.

It is rare for an adult to get ringworm. It could be a number of things. See a dermatologist.

Ring worm. This is not a worm but a fungus. He needs to go see a doctor, before it causes hair loss and/or spreads it to you.
