About 2 months ago my husband and I bought
a cat, and all of a sudden we noticed
small bumpy rings appearing on our arms,
they were perfectly round, red and bumpy
with a kind of clear patch in the middle
of the ring. We then realised we had
caught ring worms from the cat. The cat
was treated, and we used antifungal cream
to treat us, but I just wanted to say,
don't be fooled into thinking that once
they have dissappeared they are gone. Oh
no they are not, if you don't keep
treating them with antifungal cream 2
weeks after they disappear they will
return.
Nasty things....

I know. I had one as a kid and it was
there for a while but I never knew where
it came from. And I think I treated it
once and it never came back. So I was
lucky. But good post to let others know
about it!
