Kelley introduces herself and explains if she will see a doctor about her ringworm symptoms.
Kelley:
Hi, my name is Kelley and about three days ago, I noticed a small, quarter-sized red area on my stomach and started to look on the Internet to try and get information, and I think it might be ringworm. And I started to do a little more research about it, and the more I read about it, the more I found out that it has nothing to do with worms; it’s really a fungus.
And I recently had adopted a little kitten from a shelter, and that’s one of the causes, or potential causes of ringworm is when you bring a new pet into your house or things that have to do with, if your child is at preschool and is around other kids and that type of thing. So since I had one of those red flags that was listed on the Internet, I think I might have ringworm.
No, I am not planning on going to see a doctor. What I have done is, I have looked at some of the medications. All the medications that you can treat this with are just an anti-fungal type of an over-the-counter cream. So I last night went and bought it and put it on, and we’ll see what happens over the next few days.
