Question: A doc said I have ringworm and gave me some pills. My kids haven't gotten it. Can it really be ringworm.?
I went to the doctor because I've had a persist rash on my arms and it slowly spread down both of my arms. It turned circular once it started down my arms. I had it for about 2 months before I finally went to the doctor. She said right away that it looks like ringworm. OK, if I had ringworm and I hear its HIGHly contagious, wouldn't my kids and husband have it too since I went without medical help so long.? I don't have any pets, I don't go out too much. Could it be possibly something else.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Doctors often give the most common and easily-treatable diagnosis. Use the medication. If it doesn't help, go back and demand some testing. Ringworm can be diagnosed (or ruled out) through a simple skin scraping.
The only other things I can think of are tick-related diseases (like lyme, but it doesn't really sound like that).
If you continue to question your doctor you can always get a second opinion.Health Question & Answer
