You can do 2 things.  Buy ointment for atheletes foot at your local pharmacy.  They are related fungi.  Or you can apply clear nail polish to the site.  It stings like a... well it stings, but works.\n\nSorry my brain automatically inserted rid in that sentence.  Ring worm is a fungal disease similar to athletes foot.  It can be picked up by walking around barefoot or from contact with someone/something with ring worm.  I had ring worm more times working at the animal shelter.  No symptoms appear on a carrier until about 7 days, so many times the cute stray kitten your petting will get a funky growth on its nose.  Once, I had a foster kitten with ring worm.  It was horrible since he had been playing with my four cats for a few days.  They had to get medicated baths twice a day (they really enjoyed it being cats and all.)

Ringworm probably.  It's really common in children, especially that take baths.  It wont be too serious unless you don't get it treated.  Call a doctor and get an appointment to get a diagnosis and he/she will get an RX for you.

How very odd that your doctor told you it looked like ringworm but didn't give you any treatment.  You should see another doctor.  But until you do, change detergents to a mild one, rinse bleach out well, and do not use dryer sheets.  From the location of your itching, maybe it is where underclothing touches you and it is irritating you.  Pay attention to what you have eaten on the days it shows up. Maybe you are allergic to certain foods.  It is also possible it could be some sort of scabies or other parasitic infection.  So see a doctor.  Good luck.

Jock itch; also called tinea cruris or ringworm of the groin, is an infection of the groin area caused by fungi.\n\nThe body normally hosts a variety of bacteria and fungi. Some of these are useful to the body. Others can multiply rapidly and form infections. Jock itch occurs when a particular type of fungus grows and multiplies in the groin area.\nIt occurs almost exclusively in adult men. It can sometimes accompany athlete's foot and ringworm. The fungus that causes jock itch thrives in warm, moist areas. Jock itch can be triggered by friction from clothes and prolonged wetness in the groin area (such as from sweating).\nJock itch may be contagious. It can be passed from one person to the next by direct skin-to-skin contact or contact with unwashed clothing. Jock itch usually stays around the creases in the upper thigh and does not involve the scrotum or penis. It is often less severe than other tinea infections, but may last a long time. It may spread to the anus, causing anal itching and discomfort.\n\nSymptoms:\nItching in groin, thigh skin folds, or anus. \nRed, raised, scaly patches that may blister and ooze. The patches often have sharply-defined edges. They are often redder around the outside with normal skin tone in the center. This may create the appearance of a ring. \nAbnormally dark or light skin. \n\nTreatment:\nJock itch usually responds to self-care within a couple of weeks:\nKeep the skin clean and dry. \nDon't wear clothing that rubs and irritates the area. \nApply topical over-the-counter antifungal or drying powders, such as those that contain miconazole, clotrimazole, or tolnaftate. \nSevere infections, frequently recurring infections, or infections lasting longer than two weeks may require further treatment by your doctor. Stronger prescription medications, such as those containing ketoconazole or terbinafine, or oral antifungals may be needed. Antibiotics may be needed to treat bacterial infections that occur in addition to the fungus (for example, from scratching the area).  Call your doctor if jock itch does not respond to home care after two weeks, or you have other symptoms.\n\nComplications:\nPermanent change in the skin color of the area \nSecondary bacterial skin infections \nSide effects of medications \n\nPrevention:\nKeep the groin area clean and dry. \nDon't wear clothing that rubs and irritates the area. Avoid tight-fitting and rough-textured clothing. \nWear loose-fitting underwear. \nWash athletic supporters frequently. \nAfter bathing, apply antifungal or drying powders if you are susceptible to jock itch.\n\nThis info is from the same website of the person above.  It takes longer to copy and paste so he got his in first.   :)

rub some neosporin on them they should go away within a few days. Don't try to cover them with makeup it will cause an infection.

yes, but it's called ringworm.  Actually, jock itch is technically ringworm too.

might not be dermatitis.  my sister was treating what she thought was dermatitis, and it was actually ringworm.  have you been diagnosed by your doctor with dermatitis?  might want to see him.  he can get you better medications.

I dont agree with above. I have 3 kids & they have had ring worm, it is contagious! They actualy come from dirt,since cats dig in the dirt the most they have them more than other animals.Horses have also been known to have them. To get rid of them they need to dry out. You should get any type of cream or spray that is for fungus, apply it 2-3 times a day. Try not to touch it any more than you have to & keep your hands washed alot. I have been told that even when they start to go away you should keep putting the cream on them, do that for one week after you dont see it any more. It normaly takes about a month for them to go away compleatly!!

Hi Kim\n\nHere are some ideas to clean out your ears.\n\nHerbal Aids \n1.Garlic: Earache, inflammation of the middle ear, ear disease: Pack a small clove of garlic in gauze and place into the external ear passage; or drop 4-5 drops of oil into the ear channel, cover with flannel, and keep warm. \n\n2.Rue: Warm and place several drops of compound oil into the ear. \n\n3.Mullein: Use warm mullein oil, 2-3 drops in the ear 2-3 times daily. Apple cider vinegar is also a healing agent. \n\n4.Hops: Apply a flannel bag of hops, and moist heat over the affected area. \n\n5.Treat Both Ears: The simple, old-fashioned aids are sometimes very fast in giving relief. Always treat both ears, even if only one aches. \n\n6.Onion: Lightly bake a large onion, cut it in half and while warm (not hot enough to irritate the area), bind one half of the onion over each ear. Bandage in place and hold bandage on with a nightcap, white skullcap, etc., and leave on all night. \n\n7.Camomile: Use a fomentation over both ears of three parts of camomile and one part of lobelia. Take two ounces orally (a wineglass full) each two waking hours. Leave the fomentation on the ears all night. (Cover fomentation with plastic or oiled silk, etc.). \n\n8.Mullein: Use three to six drops of mullein oil in both ears several times each day. Insert it upon retiring for the night, and, as before, plug the ears with cotton. Place a fomentation over the ears all night of three parts mullein and one part lobelia. \n\n9.Dr. Christopher's B & B Tincture: When this procedure is used as explained here, it can be an aid in assisting an improvement of poor equilibrium, failure of hearing, aiding the motor nerve, etc. With an eye dropper insert into each ear at night four to six drops of oil of garlic and four to six drops of the following herb tincture: blue cohosh, black cohosh, blue vervain, skullcap, and lobelia, plugging ears overnight with cotton, six days a week, four to six months, or as needed. On the seventh day, flush ears with a small ear syringe using warm apple cider vinegar and distilled water half and half. \n\n10.Flaxseed Meal and Blue Vervain: Made into a poultice with flaxseed meal, using a strong infusion of Blue Vervain instead of plain hot water, it relieves ... earache and ear abscess as well. \n  \n\nTestimonials \n1.Garlic: When my little girl had an earache I put a piece of fresh garlic in her ear and it was better by morning. The previous alternative was to go to the doctor and pay a lot of money for penicillin. \n\n\nBest of health to you

Ringworm is contagious- usually you get it from direct contact (you would have had to touch her skin where the ringworm is), but sometimes from sharing clothing.  The only symptom is the rash itself- if you notice it on your body, start treating it right away- don't worry, it will go away!!!

Yes. It does sound like ringworm. He will need an atibiotic for it. My son got ringworm from a swimming pool. Right on his chest too., and he ran a fever with it. Good luck!

When all the treatments my doctor prescribed for my skin fungus didn't work I tried the natural way, with success.\n\nApply fresh chopped garlic to the spot for 15 minutes every day.  It will burn a bit, but it works.  Tea-tree oil also works.\n\nI am not a doctor, and do not pretend to give medical advice; I am just a person sharing my experience.
