my daughter caught it from her friend 5 yrs ago and it was from putting her slippers on. i never caught it tho when i rubbed the ointment on her back where it was. i immediately washed my hands tho too. i guess different people affected differently by things.
a friend contracted ringworm and i touched his skin but not the infected area. what are the chances of contracting it? . a friend of mine from a youth group i go to recently contracted ringworm on his arm. he was with the group tonight and had the area covered with a huge bandage yet he would peel the bandage off just enough for people to see the ring and then immediately put it back on. i never touched the infected area but i did come into skin-to-skin contact with him during a couple games and activities. i washed my hands face and other possible areas of contact with soap but will i get ringworm?
