Anyone know what this is?
Noticed this on my 20mo’s leg - it started out as a small blister-looking spot then this red ring appeared round it which has gotten bigger since last night. He doesn’t seem bothered by it in general but if we touch it, he starts to rub at it. Going to call the GP in the morning if it’s any worse but just wondered if anyone had any ideas. Husband thinks it looks like a bite? 🤔

Ringworm is a fungal infection and can be treated with OTC creams. It kinda looks like that, but you should still see a doctor to confirm.
It looks like when my brother got lyme disease - even if the mark goes away DEFINITELY go to a doctor just in case.
Agree with Hannah - definitely looks like a tick bite to me. A bull's-eye shaped red mark is an indication of a tick bite and you need to see a GP asap for antibiotics. Lyme disease is no joke

Thanks ladies. Definitely agree it looks more like a tick bite/bullseye rash than ringworm which is sending my anxiety through the roof 🫠 Just waiting for GP to open so I can ring for an appointment. If we don’t manage to get one, I’ll ring 111 and see what they can do.
That definitely looks like a tick bite id get it checked out. Our house had stray animals brought in that had ring worm and we all got it and this looks nothing like that rash
It’s probably just a tick bite. I had a couple of them on my leg last summer. Got a test for Lyme and it came back negative. They did just disappear but they were itchy x
