Hello my child has a weird looking bump on the back of his head it isnt big but im wondering if its a ringworm ?

Maybe/not: Your description is too vague to speculate a cause. Skin/hair issues usually require a visual exam for proper assessment. If it bothers you have the kid seen. Scalp ringworm requires prescription meds.
