Here is what you do.  Call your doctor and make an appointment ASAP.  When you get to the appointment ask the medical professional not unqualified people on Yahoo Answers.

If the rash is changing then you really should go back to the doctor again.  I have no idea of what it might be...sorry

Sounds like ring worm to me. Your MD will probably prescribe an anti-fungal cream

Even better than that, say you have an ear or sinus infection.  Getting a doctor's note is good too.  But they can't make you get in with an ear infection, and it's not as embarrasing as the other stuff.  You could also say you have ringworm.  That might work.

have you been exposed to anything new.\nLaundry soap, bathing soap, dryer sheets?\n\nMaybe it is ring worm

it is probably ring worm or mange, you can put some jock itch cream on it and it should clear up in a week

Yes, thats normal. If you starts getting a red ring around it, like a bull's eye, see a doctor.

You can do 2 things.  Buy ointment for atheletes foot at your local pharmacy.  They are related fungi.  Or you can apply clear nail polish to the site.  It stings like a... well it stings, but works.\n\nSorry my brain automatically inserted rid in that sentence.  Ring worm is a fungal disease similar to athletes foot.  It can be picked up by walking around barefoot or from contact with someone/something with ring worm.  I had ring worm more times working at the animal shelter.  No symptoms appear on a carrier until about 7 days, so many times the cute stray kitten your petting will get a funky growth on its nose.  Once, I had a foster kitten with ring worm.  It was horrible since he had been playing with my four cats for a few days.  They had to get medicated baths twice a day (they really enjoyed it being cats and all.)

Ringworm probably.  It's really common in children, especially that take baths.  It wont be too serious unless you don't get it treated.  Call a doctor and get an appointment to get a diagnosis and he/she will get an RX for you.

A hot or warm washrag applied to the area for 30 minutes at a time should draw the infection to the surface.  If it does come to the surface as a little white bump on top of the red bump, try opening it by gently scratching it with a fingernail.  If it doesn't come up, leave it be.  Don't put neosporin on it, as it is not an open wound and could clog the surrounding pores.  If it is there after a week without relief or any healing, or gets worse call your doctor.  Those little buggers hurt like all the world, but usually heal by themselves.

Untreated ringworm can lead to impetigo, a subclinical skin infection.

Yes, it could be a skin infection, called cellulitis. Apart from the redness, does it feel warmer to touch than the normal areas of your skin, and do you have a temperature?

Hmmm...\n\nI still think they are hives.  A minor case may only stay around for a day or two.  Hard to tell, but if they really start bothering you, go to a free clinic, to be safe.\nYour health is more important than money.\n\n Another possibility is ringworm ( a fungus), but I think it stays for a while without medicine.\n\nHere is another idea.  Go to your nearest pharmacy the next time you break out.  Then ask the pharmacist what he thinks you can put on it.  He/she might recognize the rash and be able to help you...\n\nGood luck!  Let me know ok?

Ringworm is a contagious fungus infection that can affect the scalp, the body, the feet (athlete's foot), or the nails.\n\nPeople can get Ringworm from: 1) direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or pet, 2) indirect contact with an object or surface that an infected person or pet has touched, or 3) rarely, by contact with soil. \nRingworm can be treated with fungus-killing medicine. \nTo prevent Ringworm, 1) make sure all infected persons and pets get appropriate treatment, 2) avoid contact with infected persons and pets, 3) do not share personal items, and 4) keep common-use areas clean. \n \n\n What is Ringworm?\n\nRingworm is a contagious fungus infection that can affect the scalp, the body (particularly the groin), the feet, and the nails. Despite its name, it has nothing to do with worms. The name comes from the characteristic red ring that can appear on an infected person's skin. Ringworm is also called Tinea.\n\nAnyone can get Ringworm. Scalp Ringworm often strikes young children; outbreaks have been recognized in schools, day-care centers, and infant nurseries. School athletes are at risk for scalp Ringworm, Ringworm of the body, and foot Ringworm; there have been outbreaks among high school wrestling teams. Children with young pets are at increased risk for Ringworm of the body.\nRingworm can be treated with fungus-killing medicine. The medicine can be taken in tablet or liquid form by mouth or as a cream applied directly to the affected area.\nInfected persons should follow these steps to keep the infection from spreading:\n\nComplete treatment as instructed, even after symptoms disappear. \nDo not share towels, hats, clothing, or other personal items with others. \nMinimize close contact with others until treated. \nMake sure the person or animal that was the source of infection gets treated\n\nGo to your local drug store and see if they offer any over the counter products. If not then go to your doctor for a perscription

i live in hawaii as well as i'm from florida where both places have so much staph. you only get staph from open sores that become infected, puss like stuff will be coming out and no it doesn't itch. hurts like hell all the way to the bone. i spent a week last year in the hospital due to staph which is not something to mess with. your child sounds as if they have a rash of some sort. go see a different doctor.
