Help, strange marks..

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, but i figured, hey why not try the billion nurses that are on this site. I went to Riviera Maya Mexico for a week last week. Now while there (2nd day) a strange looking mark appeared on my wrist, it was really faint tho and i dismissed it as a scratch. Well it proceeded to get darker and its now a week and 3 days and its still here, along with other marks on my other arm..here are some pics..any ideas?

course we can't diagnose, but looks like ringworm to me. but you can't really definitively tell from a pic, and your doctor is your best bet

I suggest that if you are not receiving a satisfactory diagnosis from one health care provider, it would be wise to seek a second opinion, in this case from a dermatologist.
