Hello
I have a child who is 1, and her comes Mon-Wed. Yesterday during the day, I noticed a little mark on his cheek. I thought he's bumped it, but had not witnessed any event.
When Mum came I mentioned it, thinking I had better write up an accident form. Mum said it had appeared over the weekend and she's forgotten to mention it. Fair enough, as I didn't notice it straight away.
Anyway, I'm looking at it today, and am not happy about it, so I look on the internet, and find a picture which looks a bit like it, and it's a picture of ringworm.
I have called Mum and asked her to get it seen by a GP, as it could be a fungal infection, and she is doing this now. However, I'm not sure whether this child should be sent home. I have tried to find out on Google, but some say yes, and some say children do not need to be kept away, as long as they don't share towels, which they don't anyway.
Any advice please?
