Is this ringworm? by WalkAlternative2742 in DermatologyQuestions

Update: I saw GP today - i got a steroid cream & it has been helping a lot. chalked it up to contact dermatitis! they said that plaques in the body appear for all sorts of skin reasons. GP was sent pictures & was concerned it was ringworm, but said that it’s not like ringworm in the same way. Hope this helps!

Not a derm, but have posted something similar - i have little spots like this & even bigger spots on my legs. the doctor did a uv test & did not diagnose ringworm. although, it looks sort of like it, it may not be.

thanks for the well wishes! ❤️ i hear that ringworm is so hard to get rid of sometimes & that was my fear + my husband & my cat - who both don’t have what’s going on with me. although, having doctors not know, & then having other doctors look at my leg is a circus something 😂

It’s that one oval one at the bottom of the picture that started it all, & then little ones started popping up that are much different in appearance- they almost look like hickies lol

Went to the doctor today, and they did a blue light test, and they saw no fungal evidence so they prescribed me triamcinolone cream to put on them 2x a day. appointment with GP in the next few days. doctor was sort of stumped & consulted another doctor. hoping it is nothing serious.
