A member asked:

What to do if i have dry spots on face with ring of dry skin around them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ringworm: You likely have a fungal skin infection called ringworm. It would respond to Lamasil or Lotrimin, (clotrimazole) both over the counter medications. If this does not help see a dermatologist.
