Tell me about ringworm?

[KatyMac]

I have been asked by a friend & I don't know (she is disappointed in me )

Is it a GP appointment or over the counter at the chemist?

Nursery is OK; I know that much!

well my ds 1 has it atm - caught from a cow....

i haven't taken him to doctor as it is the 2nd time dab with surgical spirit to dry it up, canesten seems to "feed" it and it gets bigger and bigger

hth

Over the counter. lamisil. Same fungi as athletes foot. Is contagious though, but not very.

We got something from the gp, that had to kept in the fridge. We caught it fro our dog.

Ok very mixed replies; I'm not going to look much of an expert this time

Anti-fungal cream should help. I used lamisil on mine and it went away - took a few weeks though

most important thing to know is that it is not a worm, it is a fungal infection.

Anti-fungal easy enough

Thanks everyone

no worm fungus
