Uh Oh!!! My Son Has...........

[critter crazy]

RINGWORM!!!!! Ewwww.......I about Jumped when the doctor told us today!!! He just has one spot, on his back. I kind of thought it would be, from the look of the rash, but wasnt sure. Now I am just Grossed out, and have no clue where he could have gotten it from. I gave all my animals a Thorough check over, and none of them seem to have it. The doctor said he could have gotten it from school tho, so who knows for sure. I have never had ringworm, nor seen it up close, so this is a new one for me!

No biggie its just a fungus just keep him away from the pets its a pain when they get it.

I've had it before on my arm. You can get it from the dirt. I think that is where I got mine. I had been out gardening and scratched my arm with my dirty hands and a few days later there it was. Went to the doctor they gave me some cream and I was good to go.

I know, that is my biggest worry right now, is the animals getting it! Now the spot he has is on his back, can he still hold the cats?? or is it just best to leave them alone for now???

Ew. I hate these things. I used to get them as a kid. I caught it from a dog a long time ago.

Just whatever you do, make sure you apply the cream until its really gone. Even if it looks like its almost gone, still apply the cream until its completely gone.. It took me about 2 months to get rid it.

Icky! Hope it goes away quickly.

I would keep your son away from your animals just to be sure. As much as possible anyway.
