When I got my boy he had ringworm and I had no idea because he had a bow on top and that was hair missing right there , a crusty scab was underneath the bow. It soon got bigger , in fact as big as a half dollar coin! That is huge compared to his little size! They gave me creams,then drops to put on it. Then a spray... NOTHING worked. Finally after 2 1/2 months of treatment they gave him pills for 6 weeks. I don't remember exactly how long it took but I know it was months before I could tell that the skin was clear and the hair was slowly growing back. I tried keeping him away from the kids and have him sleep in a crate but I was weakand gave in. We let him sleep in bed with us . My kids ended up getting it and we treated the whole family. I dont know why I never had an outbreak I had like a mosquito bite ,very tiny.
From my experience Oral Meds are the best. I used two big bottles of of Malaseb Shampoo and all that did was make his skin very dry!
