Question by Monica Perez:
do i have bed bugs or ringworm?
i have ton of spots all over the lower front part of one of my legs and a few on my inner thighs. they start out as blisters and as time progresses they turn into open legions on my body. they look as if i had scraped myself badly and they continue to appear. i have a feeling it may also be ringworm. but i cant tell the difference. i just came back from new york and i hear new york is common for bed bugs. do i have ringworm, bed bugs or something else?

Here’s what ringworm looks like:

Ringworm appears as a raised, itchy welt surrounded by a ring. … It’s not pretty…
This is what, Bedbug bites look like

okay, if its tons of spots it would be bed bugs and i suggest at least see a doctor for this once and see what he says if not a dermatologist. In any case it cant be ring worm because “Ring” is what the shape of it is, my cousin had one for a while from an outside cat at my house because she was around it to much, so also watch out for the animals you touch and care for if you have any and your afraid this will happen to you again, please take them to the vet and get them checked.
