Can you swim in a pool if you have ringworm?

Send her swimming! No risk to others. The chlorine will kill any infectious agents she might be carrying. And it will also help her skin condition. If she had a cold, or someone else did, no one would think twice about it. Same applies here. Let her go swimmin'.

I am not a doctor, but I will soon be going to school for nursing and it sounds like to me it may be ring worm. It isnt anything very serious, just call your docs office and schedule an appointment and they can give a cream or antibiotics.

Hi, \n\n  Its possible. They live in your intestine and use the nutrition that you eat to live. They can cause the symptoms that you described. She did give you the right medicine to treat you. Worms are more of an occurrence that happen to small children that play outside in the dirt and put their hands in their mouth before washing them. I think you'll be fine.

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, ringworm, which is very disgusting, and a rare disease called toxicara which is carried by both cats and dogs. my son was infected at age 4 with toxicara which resulted in blindness in one eye, after undergoing surgery.

Sounds like ring worm to me. Your MD will probably prescribe an anti-fungal cream

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.

Take your son back to the doctor. They will do a throat swab, blood test or urine test to narrow down the exact nature of the infection causing the swollen tonsils and lymph nodes. After that they can prescribe a more specific antibiotic for your son instead of the broad spectrum one they are probably using now. It is the cat that has ringworm, not your son, so that should have nothing to do with the problem. If your son does have ringworm it will be visible on his skin as small do-nut shaped circles with a red spot in center that expands outward as the circles get bigger. You can point these out to the doctor if he has any and ask his opinion. They can be treated with tinactin or similar products available at your drugstore. Ask the pharamcist.

If you've tried Blue Star Ointment or other creams that are similar without the ringworm getting any better, I would contact my Dr.  Good luck....ringworm is no fun!

Do you have cats?  If so, it could be ringworm.

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.

I do not think it is ring worm because that does itch.  There are several other dermatological conditions that cause what you have described.  The best bet is to see a physician ( a dermatologist would be best) to properly diagnose the problem.  Good Luck!

thats just something natural swim a little more since your body isn't used to the pool yet(being underwater) so just swim a little more OR it could be that your a little older now and your ears r more sensitive to chlorine?
