any idea what this might be? i'm thinking tick bite (her dad lives in the boonies). we are heading to the dr. first thing in the morning but i dont think i will sleep tonight wondering what it is. |
hi there, it is called a ring worm. Once I saw it, i knew what it was. It is causes by insects bites. don´t worry the Dr. will give you lamisil, but i don´t if your daughter can drink that, but he will know what medicine to give. But Trust me it is a ring worm. It called a ring worm because it forms a ring which is kind of lumpy the middle is smooth, the only thing that feels bumpy is the ring. I hope this helps you, and ring worms can happen anywhere, on feet, hands, back, buttocks, face legs. Everywhere. Good luck. ooo and I know this because I had one like four months ago.
Almost forgot, don´t but any creams on it, because it will just disappear for a day and come back bigger. When I had the ring worm I would apply some lotrisome and elecon and this would make it disapper for a day and the next day the ring got bigger and bigger. The doctor told me that I was feeding it and this is why it got bigger.
