I got a scar on my head thats a semi circle, and someone just told me it looks like a ringworm, what do I do?

Question:

I got hit in the head with a bottle back in highschool, left a couple of scars on the back of my head, especially one semicircle. Recently I've been shaving my head, do to a receding hairline (another damn problem). Well anyway, I got no option in it, and I'm keepin it like that. Well the scar is showing a lot more, but I didn't care, thinkin if anything it gave me that toughguy look. Well anyway, today I brought up the fact at work that I had gotten hit with a bottle, and two of my coworkers said "oh, I thought that was a ringworm or something" . WTF? I can't grow out my hair, cause it don't look right anymore, but now most people, that don't know I got hit with the bottle, might be thinking I got a damn ringworm. What the heck can I do?

Answers:
get a wig

Well if you're sure that the ring is from the bottle, then tell them what it is. It is kind of hard to believe that a bottle would leave a perfect circle scar on your head - was the top of the bottle sharp all the way around?

ask your doctor for medical medicines. Or just put on makeup. That always help.

you can't do much of anything. you know it's not ringworm, so don't worry about it. if someone says something about it, then tell them what it is. otherwise, let it go.

Get a tattoo with an arrow pointing to it followed by the text "Not a ringworm".

Seriously though, maybe a hair transplant to make it less visible?

if it is a ring worm put vinager straight vinager on it and it will smother it out. If it is simply a scar, vitamin e cream will help fade it.

Ignore it, your are a grown man, and at this point shouldn't care what other people say. And if anything it might help in dating, if a chick comes up to you that you aren't interested in start scratching the scar and say in a weird tone "I got ring worm, lick my finger" Anyways don't worry about it. Hugs and good luck!!
