agranado

So I'm hanging out with a few friends playing some guitar last night and as I'm playing, I notice two small rings within an inch of each other on the inside part of my left arm.

The first thing that came to mind was ringworm. I showed it to my riends (both of which have experience with ringworm) and said that chances are 90% that what I have isnt it.



you can barely see it here in this picture, but if you look closely they are both small, red circular marks.

For comparison's sake, these things are no bigger than the hole in this key... a dime and a quarter are also included to help scale.



Any help would be greatly appreciated... Before I start looking around for a dermatologist that is...

Ringworm is much more clear...My son has had it twice...

Only reason im concerned is because:

A: Like I said, I've never had ringworm

B: I noticed it last night (dont know how long before I may have had it) and its still here this morning / aftertnoon

C: A kid recently hired at my store who I worked with a couple days ago has a bad reputation for having had ringworm in high school (This was the first thing 3 different co-workers who graduated with him told me)... He graduated just this past year.

The kid had a bad reputation for ringworm is high school? Poor kid.

Yea, apparently.

Oh well, im not going to stress it too much... I'll stop by the local CVS, buy some bandaids and some cream I guess and just put it on

Could be early signs of cancer...once again I'd refer you to michiraces2much for an expert opinion.

1. Go to doctor to determine.

2. If it is, wash EVERYTHING the area touches (clothes, pillows, sheets) Ringwork is extremely contagious. If you touch it and touch another part of your body, you will get it there. It must be treated very quickly. I had it as a teenager, got it from my barber's clippers. Everybody I went with that day ended up with it. Itches like hell
