by lokotron, Oct 15, 2009 10:50PM
last year i got a ringworm in my arm from some kid, i didnt know what it was so i stayed with no treatment for like 6 months. then when i discovered what it was i started treating it and it went away but it started spreading i had another one in my leg but i started treating it and it went away and i noticed a small circle with the same shape in my penis at first i was scared it was a std but after looking at pictures online and stuff i realized its a ringworm and the weird thing is that it doesnt bother me at all, doesnt itches no nothing its basically just there, so i dont know if i should treat it with the same lotion i used for my arm and leg or what to do? i really wanna get rid of it.

To: lokotron,
Hello,
If the lesion is non itchy, then the diagnosis of ringworm is doubtful. It can be pityraisis rosea. Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching.

No treatment is usually required. In most patients, the condition lasts only a matter of weeks or months(upto six months)

If the rash persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist. Other possibilities have to be ruled out then.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
