Answers:
I too had ringworm on my leg and no idea where I got it!. Went to Dr!. and he told me to get an athletes foot cream from the store and apply twice a day!. It cleared it up because the fungus that causes ringworm, athletes foot, and jock itch is the same fungus!. If you wear long pants so you can't accidentally scratch it and wash your hands very often with anti bacterial soap you should be OK!. Lysol spray is a plus also!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
