These are pictures of what i think is ringworm. It's on my but & all over my stomach
Brief Answer:
Lesion appears to be due to pitryiasis
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
Thanks for posting the clinical images.
The lesions are discoid and hyper-pigmented.
Ringworm is not the only possibility that comes to my mind.
Infact, there is another group of skin problems called pitryiasis which can be another possibility.
Pityriasis is also a fungal infection like ring worm.
However, a clinical assessment by a dermatologist is required.
Medication can be prescribed after clinical assessment.
Thanks and take care
