Is ringworm ichy?


Answer:
YES YES YES YES- you have to go to the doctor to get it treated, there are no over the counters
Yes, very itchy!
No, you don't feel it at all.and in many cases, you can live with them your whole life without any problems. Some may come out as part of the feces when you do #2. In general, you can't feel them..their just in your intestines helping to digest whatever you've eaten.
Yes, it can be very itchy.
Oh yes! So itchy!
Do one legged ducks swim in circles?Yes, if you are wondering what it looks like, it's red irritated skin that has a flaky appearance and grows in a circular pattern. You can use any over the counter anti-fungal cream (the fungus is similar to jock itch/athlete's foot) to zap that. If it gets any worse, talk to a doctor.
From the answers here it seems to be itchy. I have been fortunate to see it and immediately get a RX for it from the Doctor. I was instructed not to go into the Pool ( where I have contacted ring worm) until it has cleared up. It is contagious. Over the counter you can find Lotrimin AF Cream and there are others as well if you will ask your Pharmacist they are anti-fungal creams, since Ringworm is an fungal infection, they should work well. I personally have not found it to be itchy, and have covered it with the cream immediately, perhaps it gets itchy if not properly taken care of ASAP
