ringworm??

i have this really small circle on my skin, about the size of a pencil eraser. its raised up around the edges and flat in the middle. it doesnt itch or anything but i cant figure out what it is. any ideas? i would post a pic of it but im at work  

Sounds like ringworm to me! Unfortunately, I know from experience!  

Google images for ringworm and compare yours to the pics on there.....

i had it when i was a little girl but i remember it itching and being big and oozy.... i guess because im a picker and i cant leave anything alone... lol... do you know what i can put on it?

i did and all of them looked big and oozy.... either mine is just starting or its because ive been trying really hard not to touch it...

Sounds like ringworm to me as well. I had it once as a kid and mine was never super large or oozy.

Mine started small and slowly grew to the size of a nickel. I put lotion on it thinking it was just a dry patch, but it never went away so I went to the doc and sure enough, ringworm.

Hmmm try putting some caladryl on it....the stuff you put on chickenpox , they have it in clear formula now. If its itchy that should at least take the itch away. If it starts getting bigger go see a doc.

I have gotten it many times (working around kids you get EVERYTHING) and I have never seen it oozy 

thanks   i guess i will be going to the doc tomorrow....

You need to use a yeast infection medicine on it. (Same thing you would use for a regular yeast infection or what you would use on athletes foot)

I've had ringworm too and it sounds JUST like that.

I know a home remedy, but it stains your skin greenish/black...so if it's somewhere like on your face you probably wouldn't want to do that... But if you DO then you can get a black walnut (no they are nothing like regular walnuts) and cut it in half and rub it on it.

If you don't want to do that, you could also try apple cider vinegar. Apply it w/ a cotton ball a couple of times a day and it will disappear pretty quickly.

thanks i will try that when i get home.... how long does it take them to heal?

Oh also, that blue star ointment works good too.

I had that about a month ago. I blame the cat for always getting on our bed, because I guess cats are notorious for packing ringworm. I just put on Tinactin AF (for athletes foot) and it cleared up after a couple of days.

yep just go to a drugstore and get yourself some fungicide cream for ringworm. normally it stops the itch and eventually clears in a few days. good luck !
