ringworm?

I have something going on on my face.  Iam breaking out all over in something that resembles ringworm however I have not found it discribed exactly like this.  A lesion or a blister sort of developes once it opens there are 5 or 6 hard white plugs on the outer edge. It makes a sorta doughnut hole in the center. Going to a doctor tomorrow. I would like your opinion..

Hello,
For any annular lesion on the face, tinea facei and granuloma annulare are common possibilities which need evaluation. It is a chronic disease consisting of rings arranged in a circle. Usually it is asymptomatic but due to cosmetic disfigurement topical or oral steroids may be needed. Please discuss this possibility with your dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
