Fungal or ringworm infection

2017-06-11 15:38:21
Hello, I'd recently ( 1 to 2 weeks back) got 3 to 4 spots of itchy patches on the left side of the left fore-leg close to the knee-joint, could be ringworm or fungal infection. Not always itchy but occasionally, when scratched gets a temporary white shade, at times too itchy but not for long time and not always. How best to treat it? Thanks.
