Good idea to take him to the vet. Do you have a picture of the suspected ringworm?

Well it's round and could be the early stages. Good idea to get it checked. Where is it on his body and is he irritated by it?

I found 3 spots, one on his head, neck and then the side of his back. theyre pretty small so i think its just the early beginnings of ringworm.. will take him to a vet today but the vets here in my country are quite incompetent to say the least so if u guys have any advice pls let me know

Do you think he got it at the vets?

One of my cats got ringworm, many years ago. I bathed her in anti-fungal stuff every day and kept her in one place as it's so very contagious. But you will need to get the correct medication from the vet, unfortunately.
The article gives good information, and other members should be around to help soon.

i think he did unfortunately, and to give more context i did take him to the vet about a week ago for these peculiar ringworm looking lesions n he said that it might just be food allergies.. so lets see what the vet says this time around

It's so easy to test for them.. they have a special light that shows them up. I'm amazed they didn't do that!
Have they grown in that time?

Sorry I haven't been on S Sarah2002 .. I've been unwell.
It looks good.. he'd probably appreciate more space but that can be hard to do, poor baby.
Have you been given anything to kill the ringworm?
