I am very relieved for you also that it's not ringworm! My little sister (rescued) a beautiful long-haired Birman from a kitty mill when she was 6 weeks old. The kitty mill was the most horrible place I'd ever seen in my life!(It was soon shut down after) Right away my sister got ringworm over 60% of her body and almost went blind because it was spreading into her eye. I got one spot on my arm. We went to the doctor every couple of weeks for almost a year getting different medicines. I wore a circle bandaid on my arm for almost a year also. It just never went away! The cat was taken care of right away, and the bedroom they had occupied was closed up until we got our never up to go back in there! We did eventually and threw everything out the window, including the matteress so we wouldnt take any chances taking it through the house! I of course got the ringworm right back on my arm soon after. That's when I learned about the powerful anti-fungal agents in Apple cider Vinegar! Since ringworm isnt really a worm, it's a fungus of the skin, vinegar works great in treating it! Apply it 3 times a day to the effected area and it will soon disappear! I would not recomend this for cats, but works great for people! And it's alot less expensive than the doctor's remedies!
