Can a ring-shaped rash always be treated online?
Not always. Some rashes look similar to ringworm but are actually eczema, psoriasis, or bacterial infection, so the screening and photos matter.
Why are warmth and tenderness a warning sign?
Those features raise more concern for bacterial skin infection, which is not the same as a simple superficial fungal rash.
