do u think its eczema or ringworm?

Question

my son has a little red patch on his arm. IM trying to decide whether its eczema or ringworm.The middle isa red and dry, it doesnt seem to be worrying him (like there is no itchiness associated with both things). The outside is lighter and has a light ring around it making me believe it is ringworm. If it is ringowrm how long would he have it for before it comes up. He has only had it for 2 to 3 days. He stayed at his grandmas saturday night and we went to a first birthday party on sat as well so I am trying to see whether if he does have ring worm could he contracted it from there?

Answer 1

It sounds like it is a ringworm. Your son could have contracted it anywhere. Ringworm is a fungus.

To be sure, you ought to consult your health care provider so that you can use the right treatment on your son.

Answer 4

You can get ringworm from anywhere, it is actually a fungus.

Whether it is eczema or ringworm using a topical cortizone can help. If you think it is ringworm you can buy and over the counter anti fungal cream, I would suggest getting that ASAP as ringworm is contagious. (Tee Tree OIl is a natural alternative remedy for ringworm.)
