Does any one know what this is that’s popped up on my leg, it’s really irritating me now
 
Looks like ringworm to me! Ringworms a fungal infection that will need treatment you need to see your Dr.
 
Serious enough to make an appointment as soon as possible?
 
Ringworms common but not serious. You might be able to get away with antifungal cream so you could.try your pharmacist but it needs assessing because sometimes they treat it with tablets so you would have to see your doc. It's also contagious so don't share towels and stuff like that. Good luck!
 
GP can advise but also a chemist, maybe see your regular chemist if concerned while waiting for a gp appointment.
