Ringworm is no joke! Get to a doctor and get a prescription for an antifungal. Be sure to get an antifungal shampoo . . . ringworm can result in spotty baldness if left untreated.

My favorite treatment is the prescription SelSun shampoo. It obviously treats the hair, but it is good as a dab-on ointment. BUT, do not mess around with regular off-the-shelf SelSun AND make sure the doctor says OK for use on a toddler. Selsun contains selenium, which can be poisonous. The doctor may prefer a drug that is safer for kiddies.

Can a 2 year old get rid of autism?

No - no one can 'get rid' of autism. Autism is a neurological difference...the only way to 'get rid' of autism then would be to 'get rid' of a persons brain, which obviously isn't an option. Although autism can be a disability for many it can also be an advantage to many, even if a 2 year old is severely affected by their autism they may improve over time.

How long are you contagious after starting treatment for ringworm?

as far as i know the ringworm bacteria never leaves your body. meaning once you get it, it could show up at any time during the course of your life. the most effective way that I found to rid the crap from the side of my face( from highschool wrestling) i use regular Lotriman and another cream called NP-27 anti fungal cream. i mixec them together and it became warm, i applied and it was gone in 2 day never to return yet. my brother noticed some on his jawline about 1 year ago, i told him how i got rid of it but he has done nothing and it is still there.
