My kid has ringworm , how do I get treat it? and is it contagious?!

Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin, so-called because it tends to form round patches on the skin!. Over-the-counter antifungal cream wil get rid of it, but you'd be best to ask the pharmacist for advice as to which one to use on a child, especially if they're under 12 years!.

It is infectious, but not as much as scabies or bacterial infections (like impetigo)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
