What can i do if my daughter has a perfect circular rash. how to tell between ringworm and lyme disease?

Lyme is unlikely: Lyme disease is uncommon in alabama. If you identified a tick bite before the rash, it would increase the risk of lyme. The more likely explanation is tinea corporis ("ringworm", a common fungal rash). Tinea would respond to topical antifungals such as Clotrimazole or ketoconazole. If the rash is enlarging or there was a preceding tick bite, you should see a doctor to be evaluated for lyme.

Scaling : Ringworm or tinea corporis is typically scaly and red at edges and clear in the center. The bull's eye rash of lyme disease is not scaly. It is a flat red rash and often there are other faint blotchy red rashes elsewhere on the body that move around to different areas sporadically. Lyme disease also rare in alabama. See a physician for evaluation and treatment.

Exam: Lime disease responds to treatment best if caught early. Call your pediatrician for an appointment to ck for lime disease or other creepy crawlies that can cause circular rashes. Don't delay, call for an appointment now!
