Ringworm (Tinea Corporis) (85%) - Ringworm is a common fungal infection that appears as a red, circular, and scaly rash with clear edges. It is highly contagious but treatable.
Eczema (15%) - Eczema is a condition that makes the skin red, inflamed, and itchy. It can sometimes appear similar to ringworm but usually lacks the well-defined edges.
Based on the image provided, the most likely diagnosis is ringworm (tinea corporis). Ringworm is a fungal infection that presents as a red, circular, and scaly rash with well-defined edges. It is highly contagious and can spread through direct contact with an infected person or animal, or by touching contaminated objects. The condition is treatable with antifungal medications and usually resolves within a few weeks with proper treatment. Eczema is a less likely diagnosis but still a possibility. Eczema causes red, inflamed, and itchy skin, but it typically does not have the well-defined edges seen in ringworm. Eczema can be triggered by various factors, including allergens, irritants, and stress. To confirm the diagnosis, it is advisable to see a dermatologist who can perform a skin scraping or culture to identify the presence of the fungus. If it is ringworm, treatment with topical or oral antifungal medications will be necessary. If it is eczema, treatment may involve moisturizers, corticosteroids, and avoiding triggers. The condition is not serious but should be treated promptly to prevent spreading and alleviate symptoms.
