Ringworm Problems

Hello,

I’m new to this forum and I need some help regarding Ringworm. I work in a hotel which requires me to pick towels and bedding up quite frequently, and I have eczema on my hands which leaves me with cuts on my hands quite often, and I imagine I caught ringworm from picking up towels etc without gloves on.

I’ve beeb putting the cream on as directed by the pharmacist for about a week now, and I’ve been washing all my clothes and my bedding daily. However, I think a new patch has popped up on the side of my hip. Also, I’m noticing random red bumps in different places, if anyone’s knows if they’re related to Ringworm? Can anyone help me stop the spreading of the ringworm? Is there any tips to getting rid of it quickly?

Thanks very much.

Apply a topical antifungal. Most cases of ringworm can be treated at home. ...

Let it breathe. It may seem logical to keep ringworm covered with a bandage to prevent spreading the infection. ...

Wash bedding daily. ...

Change wet underwear and socks. ...

Use an antifungal shampoo. ...

Take a prescription antifungal. Effective medications include miconazole (Cruex), clotrimazole (Desenex) and terbinafine (Lamisil).

After cleaning the rash, apply a thin layer of antifungal medication to the affected area 2 to 3 times per day or as directed by the package. Spread the treatment beyond the border of the rash by a couple of centimeters and allow the medication to absorb into your skin.
