"Ringworm" is a fungus infection; it is not a worm. The type of fungus infection on the dog, may or may not be contagious to people. Odds are that it is contagious to people until it is 'cured'.

I have a rash on my neck that I have been treating as ringworm. One day it will look better the next it looks like a bad rash. It starts out as little bumps some of them in rings. Is it ringworm?

By the way you are describing it, it does look like ringworm,so,Yes. this is from Bobby. this is from Bobby. It is definitely ringworm. I am dealing with the same thing right now on the right side of my face. It started out as little itchy bumps that I scratched, but shouldn't have. I didn't treat because I thought it would go away, but it got worse and it formed a whole circle that looked real bad. It irritated me, it started itching, and it hurt sometimes. You have to treat it immediately or it will spread. My ringworm looks a little better now that I'm treating it, though it is still irritating. I use Calamine Lotion, it really works. Go to your nearest drug store and get it. You have to wash the infected area with soap real good, and then apply the Calamine Lotion with a piece of tissue or napkin. Never touch the ringworm or it will spread. After you wash the infected area put the towel in the washing machine or wash it immediately because the ringworm is very contagious. If anyone touches that same towel they will get ringworm. If you touch that same towel and wash a different area of your body, then ringworm can grow there too! I hope this information helps! The best of luck goes out to you!

Treatment for ringworms?

There are plenty of over the counter creams that cure ringworm quickly. If you let the ringworm carry on to long it can cause blisters on the skin which will be very susceptible to bacteria, In that case you would have to go to the doc for antibiotics. You will be ok.

I have a Hepatitis B Virus can I go to USA for an Immigrant?

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (ww w.ultimatelifeclinic.c om) in March, 2020. Their treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
