I haven't read the other posts yet so this may have been mentioned but I got ringworm from a friend's new kitten she bought from Animal Control. (Matter of fact found out everyone at Animal Control got it from the kitten too- glad she was adopted to my friend before they found out or they would have killed her.) She wasn't showing any signs and nobody knew till we all got it from playing with her - my friend and her family were covered! I had two spots. I did the Lotriman thing - over the counter for a month and then finally switched and tried BlueStar Ointment. Then just gave up and it seemed to go away - but it has been two and a half months and it seems to linger - another spot came up a month ago and I tried the BlueStar Ointment right away and it worked!! Try the BlueStar ointment - it is for ringworm - even says it on the conister and I used a Qtip to really rub it in and the spot was gone in a week! Hope this helps! My friend took her cat and her other one that got it to the vet for weekly dunkings in something. She says they are free and clear now but it was $15 a cat a week for the dunkings..... Immune system has a lot to do with it.... Mine is down. But my ringworm was really really itchy so I had to put something on it and the BlueStar worked the fastest and the best... It is over the counter... I asked the pharmacist and he said to just use over the counter Lotriman because the persription stuff doesn't work as well. I vote for BlueStar! Debbie
