Name that skin rash

[janeybwild]

My teen DD tells me today that she’s had this spot for a week and it’s itchy and now it’s bothering her. If not better by Monday I’ll take her in but would appreciate any thoughts on what this could be. I get nervous about round rashes. Tia

Ring worm.

Nummular eczema, especially because it’s itchy.

If it weren’t itchy and there was any history of tick bite, I’d also throw in post-tick-bite bullseye rash, but that typically looks a bit different.

Ring worm.

I agree.

Ringworm!

Scrub it with diluted bleach water and it will kill it.

Absolutely ringworm.

no idea but why do kids wait a week to tell us they've had an itchy rash? My kids do this ALL.THE.TIME!

A vote for waiting to start any treatments until you can have a pediatrician (or dermatologist) take a look at it. I still think that the 2 most likely dx's are ringworm and nummular eczema. The problem is that the treatments are different enough that if you guess wrong, you could make matters worse. (Note: I’ve actually had both, although mercifully not at the same time — fun times...)

I’d treat it with an Over the counter anti fungal. Been there done that a few times

Thanks all. Rays that I’m happy it might be ringworm and not a bullseye rash. Thanks!
