i'm sorry to hear you're dealing with this. ringworm : bah! yes it's perfectly fine to cover ringworm. in fact it will keep the fungus from spreading. just for the record "ringworm" is a fungal infection of the skin. it is not caused by an actual "worm. " because ringworm spreads by skin-to-skin contact you should keep the infected area covered to avoid spreading the fungus. because your son's ringworm has hung on for so long i'd suggest going back to the pediatrician to see if there's another treatment that might be appropriate to eradicate the fungus. six weeks is a long time to battle ringworm. wishing you and your son all the best!
my son has had ringworm for 6 weeks we are still using rx cream. school asked us to cover it. is it okay to cover?
