A member asked:
What does ringworm look like when you first get it on your arm or leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Round with edges: Ringworms have a characteristic appearance- they are round and have scaly edges. It is not a worm but a common fungal infection usually seen in groins, under arms or breasts where there is significant moisture.
