Ringworm is spread through direct skin contact with an infected person, animal, object or surface. You can spread it to other parts of your body by scratching or touching it, and then touching other parts of your body without washing your hand first.

It's best to shave your face when you have ringworm in the beard or mustache area. That way, the spot is more accessible for treatment with the anti-fungal cream or ointment that you're using. Just don't forget to wash your hands and the shaver afterwards. More information available at:

I don't think ringworm will spread if you shave, here's a link to the mayo clinic, you can read more about it. I just scanned through it and it didn't say anything about "spreading"
