What is this scary thing?

Take a look at this picture. Focus on the part where the arrow is pointing and ignore the rest of it. (Please.)



Yesterday, I woke up with this thing on my face -- a perfect circle with a plus sign inside of it. I thought it was an imprint of some kind and ignored it. Then, when I went to take off my make-up before bed, there it was in all its glory. Still hanging out on my left cheek.

What the heck is it?

It does not itch. It does not hurt or sting. It is completely flat and smooth. It is not dry or scaly. I do not remember hitting my face or injuring it.

I know you're thinking ringworm. But I Googled ringworm and if that's what this was, it'd be super itchy and scaly. Right?

(Great, now my skin is crawling.)

Hellllllp.

  1. Do you have screws on your bed frame in that size and shape? It seriously looks like you slept on a screw and were resting on it so long it left a more semi-permanent mark.

  4. I thought wedding ring too, but if it stayed all day, you couldn't have been sleeping on something.

    Apparently you were kidnapped by aliens. :)

  5. If not an imprint from something, it looks like a small circle of ringworm.

  7. It doesn't have to itch to be ring worm. I've had it plenty of times. I would put an antifungal on it. Nystatin left from thrush or a yeast rash or an antifungal from the store. If it makes it go away that is what it was. At it's fullest is when it is itchy, dry, etc. My vote is still ringworm.
