A member asked:

I have this oval shape patch of skin. it doesn't itch at all and has a slight color discoloration. i think its ringworm but im not sure.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skin infection: Ringworm can have the appearance you describe, and is common at your age. Getting to your family doctor or a dermatologist who can do a scrape test to look for fungus under the microscope, and provide appropriate medication should probably be considered if it persists or enlarges.
