Question : My daughter has a pink perfectly round circle that appeared on her ankle a month ago it doesn't itch or give her discomfort but it also hasn't gone away. Any ideas? A doctor recently told her maybe it was ringworm but I highly doubt it doesn't look like it either. Again a pinkish red almost like a birth mark but right in the ankle bone. Curious as to your thoughts? My next step is a dermatologist. My daughter is a big gym goer and very athletic so maybe something from the gym?
