Is tinea/ringworm on back of neck contagious?? my husband has it and i apply his anti-fungal cream.... how can i protect myself?

Wash hands: Ring worm is not that contagious. You were exposed to it before your husband realized that he had ringworm. Wash your hands with soap after you apply the cream.
