ring worm

Ring worm is very easy to get. If a child has it and touches another child they get it. I remember when my daughter got it the first time I freaked out. I have since learned (22 years and 3 daughters later) it is very easy to get and to get rid of. You want to use Micatin Cream which is for athletes foot and jock itch. Rub it on a couple of times a day and it will go away. I would also make sure your child wears long sleeves when possible because others may have gotten it too and don't know it yet. Don't worry though trust me if I lived through it on my darling daughters face you can too. This too shall pass.

Deffinantly go to the pediatrician. I had ringworm on my foot when I was seventeen years old. I was perscribed an anti-fungal cream that made the spot disapear in less than a week. What's worse is that if you are not usuing a cream that will kill the fungus, it will get larger and spread. Good luck!

I would definitely make a visit to the family doctor. As far as I know (my brother used to wrestle), ring worm is only common if the wrestling mats are not cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis. If I were you I would quietly complain to the athletics department chairman so this doesn't keep happening.
