how do you tell ringworm from other skin conditions on ur hands n fingers? my cats possibly came in contact don't have it n im worried about gettin it

Accepted Answer

Typical appearance..: Ringworm is very easily obtained from cats.  Remember it is not a worm but a fungal infection. The lesions have a very characteristic appearance and are itchy, and respond well to over the counter anti-fungal creams (Clotrimazole, Terbinafine, etc), but should be treated for a full two weeks at least to ensure resolution.  Topical treatments work for all ringworm except those in the scalp.
