Good call Pat!

  I also had what looked like ringworm on my breast.
Never have had it before so I wasnt sure.  Went to my
OB and he said it also looked like ringworm but wasnt
positive.  He referred me to a dermotologist who did
the scraping thing.  And it was NOT ringworm it was
granuloma annulae a benign skin condition that is self
limiting.  He knew I was breastfeeding and injected
each ring with a very small amount of some kind of
cortisone and the rings went away.  He said that
sometimes just the disturbace of the injection can
make the rings go away.

It was very enlightening to say the least.
