Yeah, I caught a ringworm from my dog a few years ago. It takes forever to go away, or at least mine did. A little advice, don't stop using the cream when you think its starting to go away. Make sure it is all the way gone before you stop using it. Good luck with it. You can always wear a big bandage over it so it won't be as contagious and just wash your hands before you handle your pets.. Well at least, thats what I did and none of the pets got it...
