Emma, a 22-year-old female, has a circular, red, and inflamed skin lesion. She provided an image of the lesion for diagnosis.
Ringworm (Tinea Corporis) (85%) - Ringworm is a common fungal infection that presents as a red, circular, and inflamed lesion on the skin.
Eczema (15%) - Eczema can also present as red, inflamed patches on the skin, but it usually lacks the distinct circular pattern seen in ringworm.
Based on the image provided, the most likely diagnosis is ringworm (tinea corporis). This is a common fungal infection that appears as a red, circular, and inflamed lesion on the skin. It is highly contagious and can spread through direct contact with an infected person or animal, or by touching contaminated objects. The less likely diagnosis is eczema, which can also cause red, inflamed patches but typically does not have the distinct circular pattern seen in ringworm. Ringworm is not usually serious and is treatable with antifungal medications. It is important to keep the affected area clean and dry, and to avoid sharing personal items like towels or clothing to prevent spreading the infection. If left untreated, the infection can spread to other parts of the body or to other people. Next, you should see a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan. They may perform a skin scraping or culture to confirm the presence of the fungus. Treatment typically involves topical antifungal creams, and in more severe cases, oral antifungal medications may be prescribed. With proper treatment, the infection usually clears up within a few weeks.
The image shows a circular, red, and inflamed skin lesion, which is characteristic of ringworm (tinea corporis). This visual evidence strongly supports the diagnosis of a fungal infection.
This situation is not an emergency, but you should see a dermatologist soon to get appropriate treatment and prevent the infection from spreading.
