Hello, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. If I am your treating doctor I would like to tell you that ring worm is very contagious disease
The spore of the fungus is easily dislodged and settled on the skin of the other patient and cause the infection. Until it is not treated completely it remains contagious. Your treatment is correct. If you have to ask anything else to me you can ask me. We wish you a best health at healthcare magic. Thank you Dr. A run Tank. Infectious disease specialist.
