Well, thanks for the update. Realistically, if it _were_ ringworm, by this point you and your other pet(s) would be symptomatic by now.

Oh, good. I can put the matches away.

Lenny’s lesion looks stable. It’s got that leathery feel of new scar tissue. I’ll keep an eye on it. He has to go back in a month anyway for another T4 check. If it’s not gone by then, I’ll have them biopsy it.
