A member asked:
Is ringworm always in the shape of a circle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ringworm or Tinea: Examine the overall shape of the ringworm lesions. They have a round, ring-like shape and appear reddish or pinkish in color. You may find separate lesions or lesions close together that form a lobed pattern. Look at the borders of a ringworm lesion. Affected areas have well-defined, red or pink borders. These borders can consist of bumps, blisters or scales. The borders make up a ring shape.
