A member asked:
I have all the symptoms of ringworm, should i stay home from school until being treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is hard to pass to others. It requires direct contact with the site or spores from the lesions.Scalp infections can be passed through shared grooming tools. Cover the site(s) if you wish, but this is no reason to avoid school.
