20-ish girl on cell: So, they said it's not ringworm -- it's some kind of skin virus that looks like ringworm. And they said I'm really lucky because so far it's only on my back and stomach, not, like, my whole body and face. The tests come back on Friday, but they said it's probably really contagious. I just hope it goes away before my trip to Miami!
