Have light pink circular patch on forearm size of dime, no outer ring really. does not itch, has been there for over three weeks, no change. could this be ringworm? also have itchy scalp too. any ideas

Circular patch: Yes you could have ringworm. The itchy scalp may also be related to your ringworm. Anti fungal medication can be purchased over the counter. Nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo 1 per cent can be used for your scalp.

Eczema more likely t: Eczema more likely than fungus. See a dermatologist if it bothers you. Meanwhile you can try otc hydrocortisone. The magnesium, vit c, and fish oil are probably all a waste of money.
