this is beyond embarrassing!!!!

I think i have ring warms:blush:

I'm up at 4 in the morning crying wondering how could this have happened!!:weep:

No one in my house has them, no one (that i think) i been around has them, well a month ago a friends son had one but i haven't seen him in a few weeks!!!!

I'm so confused, i'm a germ freak, my house stays clean well except for the kids toys, i disinfect through out the week, o clean with bleach, washing my hands is a ocd for me and my kids hands, i take 2 baths a day, i drive my self mad trying to live in a clean safe environment for my family!!!!!!!!

So how in the hell could i get over 10 ring warms on my arms, neck and chest just this past week:unsure::shrug: i have been notice these spots, and they just started to itch :scared15::weep::lac:

Im wearing long sleeve shirts because i don't want to spread it to my husband and kids!!!
I'm to embarrassed to go to the doc because she will think im a dirty person and not fit to be a mother or something!!:weep::weep::weep::weep:

I'm having a nervous break down, from all these symptoms, side effects and just so much going on in my mind and body i just dont no how much more i can take!!!!!!:scared15::unsure::weep:

Ringworm is a fungal skin infection and it has nothing to do with if your house is clean or not. You can have the cleanest house ever and still get it. It can be passed on by just touching a farm gate or something where infected animals have passed through. It could have even come from soil in the garden if you were gardening.
Go to the chemist and buy an antifungal cream and put that on. for example, terbinafine, clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, and miconazole.

Aw, sweetie pie!! Thank you Annie, glad to know these things :D See, not to worry, Eve! ... Not sure if you may need pills at some point, but you don't need to fear going to the doc if so. :yesyes: :hugs:

[eve22]

:hugs: I wonder what pills they have for this, its freaking me out!!I'm making me a appointment for this week!! love you mum :bighug1::yahoo:

[Annie0904]

It should be easily treated with the creams. You would only need antibiotic tablets if it got infected which hopefully it won't. It is infectious though so use a different towel to the rest of your family when washing.

Ok, thank you!!
