Method of spreading ringworm

Answer 1

Ringworm (or tinea corporis) is a common fungal infection resulting from dermatophytes, which are microscopic organisms that live on the dead outer layer of skin. Direct contact with infected people, animals, or inanimate objects transmits the fungal infection. Most ringworm infections result from human dermatophytes. Still, you can develop ringworm through exposure to animals (commonly the household pet) and from the soil.Although infection may go away without treatment, some ringworm may require antifungal medications applied as cream to the lesions.

• Apply topical antifungal medications to the lesion itself and 1 inch beyond its border twice daily for a minimum of two weeks, and at least one week after it goes away. Keep the infected area clean and dry. Over-the-counter medications available at the drugstore include miconazole 2% (with brand names such as Monistat and Micatin) or clotrimazole 1% (with brand names such as Lotrimin and Mycelex).

• Ringworm is highly contagious.
  • Avoid touching suspicious lesions.
  • Maintain proper hygiene by washing your hands and body frequently and laundering the linens and clothes of an infected family member separately.
  • Avoid contact sports such as Wrestling until you have been treating the lesions for at least 48 hours.
