Can anyone help me with this. Is it Ringworm, Eczema, Psoriasis or Granuloma annulare?

It doesn't itch and its been there for while?

It's located 3 inches from my wrist.

You would probably benefit by taking some antiparasitic herbs. Do a search on here for parasites. Lots of helpful info.

You could try treating yourself for ringworm and see if it goes away. You buy Cruex or a similar cream.

There wouldn't be any danger in trying this.

Ringworm is a fungus, like jock itch.

Hi Been, it likes like ringworm to me. A physician can diagnose ringworm by testing the skin for fungus.

I do not know what it is, but it is not Psoriasis.

How big is the spot? How does it feel when you run your finger across it (like a scar, or rough dry skin, or bumpy)? How long has it been there? Has it changed any? Do you have any other spots like that?

From looking at the picture it looks most like a form of eczema. Of course, we can't truly diagnose you from a picture, you would have to see a doctor for that.

doesnt look like ringworm to me

Posted by steve1906 (Member # 16206) on :

Let us know how you make out? My vote is still ringworm! No one seems to agree....

Posted by Jennifer70 (Member # 30280) on :

my vote is ringworm too. I have Granuloma Annulare on my hand, and that looks nothing like it.
