Just keep putting cream on it, and keep it covered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2483256 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 13:56:32 +0000 snowjewelz 2483256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Bleh! I'd be so annoyed if its not ringworm and I had to keep her out of school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2483250 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 13:53:50 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2483250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Yup, that was like my sons. It was like a patch, not a ring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2483248 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 13:53:25 +0000 snowjewelz 2483248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I'll take a picture of it later... It def doesn't have a defined ring and barely any normal skin in the middle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2483237 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 13:49:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2483237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: See my comment above. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2483233 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 13:48:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2483233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: My son had a spot but in doing some google searching it sounds like a lot of things are classified as "ringworm" but can really be various types of rashes. Since his never spread (and we continued them bathing together) we didn't think it was ring worm. Lotrimin for a few weeks didn't really clear it up (it helped but still very obvious). Eventually a drop or two of pure Tea Tree Oil (every day covered) cured it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2483221 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 13:44:32 +0000 snowjewelz 2483221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dahlia: Nope! She just said to also put on cortisone cream as if it's eczema. We have to go back if it doesn't get any better for another week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2483095 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 13:03:16 +0000 Dahlia 2483095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Did the doctor do a scraping to look for fungus? I thought I had it a while ago and on visual inspection the doctor confirmed, but when the anti fungal didn't help they did a scraping and looked at it under the microscope during my appointment. Turns out it was psoriasis, which is also not fun but isn't contagious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2483091 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 13:00:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2483091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: daycare was the one that called yesterday, hah. I saw the rash but we just thought nothing of it, lol! Well our dr gave a note that she could go back 24 hrs after putting on cream (but we kept her home today since she only goes half day and it would be pointless). I'd just be so annoyed if it wasn't ring worm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2483088 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 12:59:07 +0000 regberadaisy 2483088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I think (and her primary ped agrees) it was/is just eczema. If your doc thinks Dd has ringworm you need to let daycare know. It's contagious by contact. DD didn't have any visible spots but one was on her shoulders so daycare asked us to put cream on it and cover with a bandaid (even though it was covered by her onesie) until it was gone since the babies were always crawling all over each other. If it was on a permanently exposed area they would want her to stay home until it was gone. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2483075 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 12:51:57 +0000 snowjewelz 2483075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: whatever happened to DD? </p> <p>K just got ringworm too, dr is 99% sure so we're putting a mix of Lotrimin and Cortisone cream in case it's just eczema. Cause her ring isn't super clear. </p> <p>It's on her face though! I don't know if I should put a bandaid on it.. And then I'd have to wash sheets every day since her faces would touch it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2312117 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 19:50:29 +0000 Maysprout 2312117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older LO had ringworm. We just put anti fungal cream on it and kept applying for about a week after the rash disappeared.<br /> Just read your update. My LO rash never spread. It was a circle with normalish looking skin in the middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2312069 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 18:21:27 +0000 regberadaisy 2312069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now she has a red rash all over her back, some on her belly / diaper area. Wtf is going on??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2312068 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 18:21:00 +0000 regberadaisy 2312068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: @blackbird: @misolee: thanks my ped said Lotrimin for ringworm so that's what I got. I put a bandaid on top after I applied the cream so it doesn't rub off. </p> <p>Thankfully it doesn't seem to really bother her.</p> <p>@lemondrop: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2311819 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 13:20:34 +0000 blackbird 2311819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh i had ringworm like...8 years. Hot water, bleach, etc. You can use a fluorescent light to see the fungus, which is kind of cool. I used Lamisil and covered the spots with bandaids so I didn't scratch them or the contagious parts didn't flake off onto my regular clothes and spread that way. I kept mine covered all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2311809 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 13:15:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2311809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh no! I hope it goes away soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2311806 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 13:11:17 +0000 lemondrop 2311806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Itchiest I have ever been in my life! I caught it from a cat at work, then gave it to my cat. It was a pretty miserable experience for us. I used Lamisil (athlete's foot cream) on the lesions and it took a couple weeks to resolve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2311739 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 12:10:39 +0000 misolee 2311739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed. LO had it on her arm and we were given medication and it went away after awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2311735 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 12:04:49 +0000 cascademom 2311735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our eldest got ringworm. It was a circle on his chest. We didn't know what to make of it when we saw it. The doctor confirmed it was a ringworm. I washed sheets, etc. The biggest thing is to put the anti-fungal on it for a couple of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ringworm-on-your-lo#post-2311732 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 12:01:27 +0000 regberadaisy 2311732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else's LO get ringworm before?</p> <p>Pediatrician just confirmed it this morning. It started out as a red mark that I assumed was a rash. Then it turned bumpy, I thought dried skin. But a month later, it's still there, so we brought it up at a flu shot visit.<br /> I feel like an a$$ for not bringing it up earlier. Surprisingly, it has not spread and is in only one spot, that's always covered. Knock on wood, her sister has not gotten it, despite the fact that I bathe them together.</p> <p>Will be stripping both their sheets tonight and bathing separately till I'm sure it's gone. </p> <p>Any other tips? I think it's contagious by contact and contact through clothing / towels etc. Since it's on her shoulder and always covered I'm assuming no issues with sharing toys. It'll be hard to prevent big sister from hugging her though! </p>
