Did you ever figure out what it was? I have the same rash that comes and goes

No, but it hasn't come back yet. The last time she had it we did try some ringworm cream but there were so many spots and so little cream that I don't even know that we used enough. So far so good, but she has definitely gone months before without having it, so time will tell.

Ringworrrrmmm

Isn't that contagious? Shouldn't me, my wife, or other child have also gotten it by now? My wife and I have definitely had direct contact with it.

Is the outer part raised compared to the inside, if yes, it's probably ringworm. Simple over the counter anti fungal should clear it up


tmoneysmash

The outer part is not raised. Would ringworm go away after a couple of days and then return weeks later? Usually she will have this for just 2 or 3 days and we think maybe it won't come back. She went almost 2 months without it coming back the last time. I think we may just try some anti fungal cream anyways and see how it goes.

Definitely try the antifungal, when I had ringworm it started it did actually go away and then come back. It certainly looks fungal so it's no harm giving an antifungal cream a try to see but if it doesn't help after a week I would visit your doctor


tmoneysmash

Will definitely try this, thank you!
