A member asked:

There is a ring-like round vaccination-like "scar" on my arm. could it be ringworm from 5 years ago (first noticed this). didn't bother me or spread.

Skin lesion: Without being able to see this it is difficult if not impossible to diagnose. Next time you see your family doctor or a dermatologist show it to them for an informed opinion. Good luck.

Not sure: I am not sure what you are describing. It would be best to have someone look at it and tell you what it is. See the doctor for an answer.
