It was just one, and the Spectazole probably kept it form spreading. I also treated her patch, about the size of a dime, on her back, with a drop of iodine and the same cream I am using. We went back to the vets yesterday because I am very concerned that I can't stop the cycle of this fungus. She ordered the ringworm vacination and we will start the series of shots in three weeks. Meanwhile they will be bathed in a 2.5% Benzyol peroxide shampoo one every 10 days and sprayed twice a day with a mild solution of the chlorhexiderm.

Index Ringworm is a rash caused by a fungus that has infected your skin. (Despite its name, this rash is not caused by a worm or parasite.) Ringworm is spread by contact with an infected person or infected surface, such as clothes, towels, and bedding. It is more common among people participating in sports that involve a lot of contact with other people, such as wrestling. Children going to day care and people living in crowded conditions are also more likely to get ringworm. Ringworm on the skin is called tinea corporis. When ringworm is on the feet, it is called tinea pedis, and when it is on the scalp, it is called tinea capitis.

Ringworm is a skin infection caused by a fungus that can affect the scalp, skin, fingers, toe nails or foot. Who gets ringworm? Anyone can get ringworm. Children may be more susceptible to certain types of ringworm than adults. How are ringworm infections spread? Transmission of these fungal agents can occur by direct skin-to-skin contact with infected people or pets, or indirectly by contact with items such as barber clippers, hair from infected people, shower stalls or floors. What are the symptoms of ringworm infections? Ringworm of the scalp usually begins as a small pimple which becomes larger in size and leaves scaly patches of temporary baldness. Infected hairs become brittle and break off easily. Occasionally, yellowish cuplike crusty areas are seen. With ringworm of the nails, the affected nails become thicker, discolored and brittle, or they become chalky and disintegrate. Ringworm of the body appears as flat, spreading ring-shaped areas. The edge is reddish and may be either dry and scaly or moist and crusted. As it spreads, the center area clears and appears normal. Ringworm of the foot appears as a scaling or cracking of the skin, especially between the toes.

http://www.otan.us/webfarm/emailproject/ringworm.htm

Extractions: Country of Remedy: United States Ingredients: Clear Nail Polish Instructions: If you have ring worm, put clear nail polish on it (use a Qtip so you dont get the infection on the brush) and rub it over the circle. It doesnt really sting. What I did is every two hours or so I took off the polish (try using tweezers to peel it off but it may hurt because of the hairs). If you cant use tweezers just alternate with remover and soap and warm water. It may sting but its well worth it to get rid of it. I alternated the polish and removing it and adding a new coat for about a day and all that was left was a really faint pink ring...IT WILL WORK!!! Instructions: I'm a wrestler so ringworm is a normal thing for me, the best way to kill it is (this is only for spots 1 1/2 inch or less in diameter) to put the cream, in a VERY generous amount, onto the cushion of a band-aid that suits the size of the circle, then you put the band-aid (with cream) onto the circle. DON'T REMOVE FOR 8 HOURS. REPLACE EVERY 8 HOURS, WITH SHOWERS/BATHS BETWEEN BAND-AIDS.If the circle is within the .1 to 1 1/2 inch diameter range, it should be gone within 3-4 days.For faster result use nail-polish, but if it's small, and there aren't more than 2, just put the band-aid on, it's less harmful to your body.

Ringworm (0-12 Months)
Actually a fungus rather than a parasite, ringworm is relatively easy to treat.Learn to recognize it.
http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/baby/babyills/babyrash/10902.html

Extractions: If your baby has ringworm on his body, he'll have one or more scaly patches, probably between the size of a dime and a quarter. While the patches don't always start out round, by the time they're about half an inch across, they usually form a scaly ring around a smooth center. As the fungus grows, the ring gets larger, but it usually stops growing by the time it's about an inch in diameter. The rash can be dry or moist, and it can appear almost anywhere on the body. When the fungus affects the scalp, the rash usually has less of a ring-like appearance. Instead, you might notice either patchy, scaly areas or bald spots on your baby's head. You may also see stubs of hair broken off in the middle of the bald spots. It's easy to confuse ringworm of the scalp with a much more common infant condition called cradle cap , so if you aren't sure what your baby has, ask your doctor to take a look. Your baby might also develop an area of inflammation, called a kerion, in response to the fungus. It'll appear as a boggy swelling on the scalp with pustules (little pimple-like bumps). This will clear up when you treat your baby's scalp for the ringworm.

Extractions: Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Skin conditions Ringworm Originally Published: March 21, 1997 Dear Alice, I have obtained ringworm from my kitten! What is the best treatment for me to get rid of it and stop the itching? Before Alice addresses ringworm treatment options, let her first briefly describe ringworm. Ringworm is a skin disease that is not caused by worms, but by fungus. You can have ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis) and of the body's hairless skin (tinea corporis). Fungus can also infect toenails and feet (also known as athlete's foot read Athlete's Foot and More on athlete's foot in Alice's General Health archives for more information). Ringworm is contagious. Basically, ringworm is transmitted via fungal agents by direct skin-to-skin contact with infected individuals and pets (your cat, for instance), and by indirect contact with personal items used by infected individuals, such as hai r, combs, brushes, hats, bedsheets, hairpins, floors, and bathtubs. Considering the contagious and infectious nature of ringworm, anyone is susceptible. It does not discriminate, although children and adults seem to be more prone to infection by differing kinds of ringworm. In addition, athletes participating in contact sports, such as wrestling and football, are at higher risk. Appropriate precautions must be taken to avoid infection, spread, and reinfection, such as showering after each sports play, regularly washing contacted surfaces, laundering clothes after every sports activity, avoiding clothes- and towel-sharing, and being aware of who is infected on the team.

Extractions: Ringworm is a skin infection caused by a fungus. The infection causes a rash that may have a ring-shape with a raised edge. It can be quite itchy and flaky. When the scalp is infected, there is often an area of baldness. Fungal infections of the feet are usually very itchy and cause cracking between the toes. How is ringworm transmitted? Ringworm spreads from person to person by touch. When someone with ringworm touches or scratches the rash, the fungus sticks to the fingers or gets under the fingernails. The fungus is then spread when that person touches someone else. Ringworm of the scalp can also spread if combs and hairbrushes are shared. How is it treated? Ringworm can be cured with medication. Some medications are taken by mouth. Others are ointments or creams that are spread on the infected area. What can parents do? Check your child for signs of ringworm if another child has it. Look for the typical circular rash on the child's head or skin. Contact your physician if you think your child has ringworm.

http://www.pethealthcare.net/html/body_ringworm_in_dogs.html

Extractions: There are four fungal species affecting dogs which can cause the disease that we call ringworm. These may also affect humans. The fungi live in hair follicles and cause the hair shafts to break off at the skin line. This usually results in round patches of hair loss. As the fungus multiplies, the lesions may become irregularly shaped and spread over the dog's body.

Extractions: Ringworm is also known as dermatophytosis. There are four species of fungi that can cause dermatophytosis in cats; however, it is most often caused by the organism called Microsporum canis. Microsporum canis is so well adapted to cats that up to 20% of cats are thought to be asymptomatic carriers, meaning they have the organism but show no outward signs. Genetic and environmental influences play an important role in feline ringworm infection. A significant amount of research remains to be done on this disorder. It appears that Persian cats are affected most frequently. In catteries, ringworm can be hard to control because of the numbers of animals involved.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> What is ringworm? Ringworm is an infection of the skin which is caused by several types of fungi. The scalp, feet, groin, fingernails or toenails can also be affected. Who is susceptible to ringworm? Anyone can get ringworm. Children are more susceptible to certain types of the ringworm fungi, while other types occur equally in all age groups. Ringworm involving the nails is more likely to occur following an injury to the nails. What are the signs and symptoms of ringworm? Ringworm of the body usually consists of a flat, roundish lesion, the edge of which may be dry and scaly or moist and crusted. As the lesion expands, the center portion often clears to a normal appearance. Ringworm of the scalp typically begins as a small pimple which expands with time, leaving scaly patches of temporary baldness. Infected hairs become brittle and break off easily. Occasionally, raised moist and draining lesions can occur. When finger/toe nails are affected, the nails become thickened, discolored, and brittle, or they may become chalky and disintegrate with time. How is ringworm spread?
