Yuck, Ring Worm!


About a month ago i started to get this circular rash.  I had no idea what it was, and it kept getting bigger and bigger.  It is now almost an inch in diameter!   Well, i just found out that I have ring worm, i really hope that doesn't mean i have a worm inside of me.  Anyways, just thought i would post about it.  My ring worm doesn't have a smiley face on it, but i wish that it did :).    I've also had eczema and I would have to say that eczema is a lot worse than this, but still not very fun, hopefully it goes away soon and it doesn't spread to someone else!

Have you been to the doctor about that and are you being treated? That sounds pretty yucky! I wonder if you picked it up from a kid at your work??? How do you treat ring worm??

I havn't been to the doctor yet, but I'm hoping to make it tomorrow. I've looked up treatments on the internet and Ryan has told me that i need to use anti-fungal cream. I just started using that today. I'm not sure where i got it from i was thinking either that or from the mats at the gym? It's definitely not fun, so hopefully it goes away soon!

Anti-fungal cream is what I think you should use (from looking it up on the internet), but probably should go to the doctor to find out which one is best! Do you have it all over or just in a couple of spots? I'm sorry!! Good luck. The good news is that it should go away in about a week once you start treating it!!!

I had something like that. Mine started as a small bump and then kept growing. I think mine got to be about an inch and a half. I took an antibiotic for about 10 ten days. It cleared up and hasn't come back. I never knew what it was but I thought it was a bite.

Oh no!! Didn't I tell you that it looked like ring worm last time we were at your house? I'm sorry. What makes it go away?

I think the idea of antibiotic is one you should check out. Be sure you are seeing a doctor. Hope it gets better quick. I think it is contageous, right?
