Hello,
I had gone through your question and understand your concern.

Short answer: NO, its not a ring worm.

Detailed answer:

Thank you for your question on HCM.

Semen when ejaculated gets coagulated immediately. After sometime it gets liquified and sticks to the skin when ejaculated on skin. When this gets dried, it forms a small patch which can be peeled off. This is completely normal. Normally, semen does't contains any ring worm. So don't worry.

Ringworm infection will cause itchy patches, discharge. Ringworm infection spreads from infected person through comb, shower,clothes etc.

I hope I answered your question.

You can con contact me at any time, if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Dr. Prathap Kumar
