Does this look like ringworm to any of you? I know the "ring" isn't clearly defined yet but just want to be sure to treat it early so it doesn't get too itchy/bad for baby. The white part in the center is a bit scaly/paper-like to touch compared to the rest of her skin
It doesn't seem like a ring worm. You can read more on the symptoms of ringworm from here. http://www.medicinenet.com/ringworm/article.htm. Ringworm causes a scaly, crusted rash that may appear as round, red patches on the skin.Other symptoms and signs of ringworm include patches of hair loss or scaling on the scalp, itching, and blister-like lesions. You can try natural remedies first, by using Four Cow Farm Tea Tree Remedy for skin rashes and infection. It contains all naturally made ingredients.

this doesn't look like a ring worm. If its itchy, consult a derm. Sometimes a little superficial hit or excessive exposure to sun, fungal infection or nutritional deficiency can also cause such spots.
Thanks Roshni, Evelyn and Diana! Will try the Tea Tree remedy first, just as a precaution :) @Roshni it's been there for just 3-4 days. Baby doesn't seem to find it itchy
How long has it been there for? Is it itchy? Then it probably is not ring worm and might be eczema
thanks
