[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is bleach out? That's something we have plenty of....[/quote]

Bleach is by far the best remedy. "Cut" bleach (google this method) and apply to the affected area. Let it dry and try to pull the hair up and away from it. If you can get your kid in the strong sunlight for ~15 minutes this weekend with his/her hair up, that will help too. Also, you need to wash and dry all towels, sheets, blankets, etc that your child has used in hot water and dry on the highest heat setting and bleach all whites if possible. Spray down the bathtub or shower, including shower curtain or shower doors, with a dilute bleach mixture too. Keep your kid's nails short, because ringworm loves long nails.

Going forward, have your child use the old fashioned Head and Shoulders shampoo as a shampoo and body wash. It has to be the plain old kind, not the new stuff with added conditioners or "mountain scents" or anything. It kills ringworm and has been used by wrestlers and grapplers as a prophylactic measure for decades.[/quote]
