Ringworm: This sounds like a fungal infection of the skin. Please go to the pharmacy and purchase an over the counter anti-fungal cream. You can ask the pharmacist for recommendations. If it does not improve in 2-3 weeks you may need to see a doctor to prescribe stronger medication. Good luck!

VisualDX: Hi, it’s hard to say without a picture but there is a great app that may be able to help you get a diagnosis without being seen in person by a dermatologist. The app is called VisualDX and is one of the best, if not the best out there. Many clinicians, including myself, use it. Just snap a photo and it gives you a list of possible diagnoses. Good luck!
