Try using an OTC Athelete's Foot (Antifungal) Cream. That's what my pharmacist recommended for us.
Since "Ringworm" is actually a fungus instead of an worm (the name comes from what it looks like on the skin, not what actually causes it) , an anti-fungal medication is used to treat it.
Yes. Clotrimazole ointment is effective and is an OTC product. It is used for a variety of fungal problems, including athlete's foot and ringworm.

Yes, dogs can be infected by the fungus that causes ringworm. If a dog has skin issues, you should have him examined by a veterinarian to determine if it is ringworm or some other issue so that you can start an appropriate treatment.
"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'.
no
It depends on the cause of the skin disease? See a vet for advice and treatment.
It is possible but not likely to happen
It is definitely possible. Ringworm is one of the parasites that do not discriminate against animal or person.
This is a fallacy. Goats can get ringworm (dermatophytosis) but it is uncommon and acquired from other animals - cattle, rodents, dogs or cats.
Treatment will depend on the cause of the bumps. A vet will best be able to determine the cause and proper course of treatment.
Banting and Best did their experiments on dogs. they made some of the dogs diabetic by removing most of their pancreas, and they extracted insulin from the pancreases of other dogs. many dogs died in the search for a successful treatment - but the scientists found a treatment to a disease which has killed millions of people over centuries.
The most common symptom for ringworm in dogs, is a spreading circle of hair loss, with scabbed skin in the center, surrounded by a characteristic red ring. This often becomes infected, causing the dog to bite, scratch, or lick at the affected area.
i got no idea You 'got no idea'. You are kidding right? I asked my 12 year old daughter, who answered that the "proposition [was] ludicrous". My 9 week old Standard poodle was just yesterday diagnosed with ringworm, and the therapy was the anti parasitic medication, fenbendazole, not dog spit. Again, my 12 year old on the subject "If dog spit were able able to kill ringworm, how could ringworm live and thrive in the dogs bowel?" QED
Avoidance of allergens is the best method of allergy treatment for dogs, however that's not always an option. The type of allergy will determine the treatment. Biotin, anithistamines and omega-3 fatty acids are some treatments used.
