I have fucking ringworm

[kdrake8]

I think. WTF??? I thought it was eczema . My FIL just laughed at me and told me to go to med express. How freaking gross!!!!

Where the hell did I even get it?

[thedahliharpa]

I would die. I'm incredibly phobic about worms!

[joyhart02]

Ewww.

Sorry, that is not helpful, I hope you can get it cleared quickly.

[jenbelle]

Luckily, it's just a fungus- have you been in contact with any animals recently? Most times people don't get it, but if you are immuno-compromised or stressed you can end up with it. Meds should clear it up! Good luck!!!!

[TrudyCampbell]

Gross. You probably got it at the gym or at school.

thank baby Jesus its not a real worm. I started screaming and flailing my limbs until I read that it's the same as athletes foot and a fungus or something.

Still disgusting.

[kdrake8]

No animals... Maybe the baby gym for Mila? But she and DH don't have it? Probably from dirty disgusting school and the nasty children. I got it after school started.

Ha, shows what I know! I hear worm and freak the F out.

I had it once. I felt gross too. It was just one spot and it cleared right up with anti fungal cream.

You can! It's athletes foot cream. I know you can take it, because true soul sisters we are, I currently have some weird ass fungal rash I have no idea where t and from ad my midwife told me it was safe. I feel like a scummy scummer! Like wtf I totally shower.

[Deleted]

Ewwww. Just kidding. Hope that it clears up soon!!!!

[kdrake8]

hahaha we are true loves for real.

I've had it. On my shoulder. It was no bigs. Cleared right up with lotramin. Not even worth a trip to the doc because they will give your prescription lotramin and it will be expensive.

My sister once got a staph infection on her face! She had to take wrestling in college and got it from the mats. Grosssss.

[kdrake8]

Ewwwww dixee!! Staph!

I have mom guilt that Mila touched it now.

[lolaburns]

I've had ringworm before. I contracted it from an animal. Get some Lotrimin and it will go away quickly. I'd double check with the pharmacist that it's safe during pregnancy because I'm a nut. I hope it heals fast and isn't too itchy!

[Deleted]

I am a magnet for athlete's foot and ringworm. Lotrimin over the counter should clear it up!

[creamsiclechica]

This thread is really helping my self esteem, guys. I've felt like a weirdo over this!

[lolaburns]

I know. It's one of those taboo things you contract, but it's really common! I wish it had a different name but I suppose ring fungus isn't any better.

[ruby412]

Aww, that sucks! I had it once in high school. Got it from the gym mats, I think?? Yuck!

[tuck]

I once had ringworm under my boob. I currently have one spot on the top of my thigh and on my pinkie finger. I'm treating it, but it's taking a while to respond to medication. My spots aren't very noticeable or red, so I thought it was excema for the longest time. It even happens to very clean people.

Bad part is, I think Holden has a small patch of ringworm on her face. The neighbor kid she's been playing with every day has a huge one on his arm.

[charmediamsure]

I wish it had some other name, ringworm sounds horrific. I hope M and your H don't get it.

I had it in on my right temple in the 7th grade. I forget how long it took to clear up, but i remember using my left hand to cover it when I wasn't sitting with my right next to a wall. So gross! I hope it clears up quickly. 

[Deleted]

I got it in college. No idea how. It should clear right up with the lotramin. In fact, I was told to put it in DD's bottom when she had real bad diaper rash. It cleared it right up!

[DesertMoon]

Anyone I've ever known that had it got it from a cat. Idk much about it, hope it clears up soon!

[Dolci]

Btw, it is spelled eczema.

[raynes]

Yuck! I hope it clears quickly.
