What are the symptoms for ring worm?
I developed a little circle that itches like crazy, it's no bigger then 1/16 of an inch and it seems like it's a little scaly. Any input will be greatly appreciated. It's on my lower bicep on the outside of my arm, by the way.

I caught a ringworm right there! and it took at least 4 to 8 weeks to recover, and yet still i have the scar. It looks like a burnt tomato, and itches like maad! it starts of as a small itchy dot and swirls around into a huge circle, go to your doctor and he will give you a cream to put on to treat it. As soon as you show the doctor he will already know, its a ring worm i didnt even have to speak. Make sure to have your own towel, soap, and stuff you dont want no one else to catch it. Always keep it clean, i used dettol for this. As it kills bacteria and then apply the cream on top, morning and night. Make sure to rub it in well. And try to itch around it not on top. Hopefully it will fade away(:

The best way to diagnose ring worm is to go to the doctor and get checked. Ring worm appears to be a circular scab that can be itchy. You can always look up some pictures online to get a better idea of what it looks like.
