WELL DANGIT

Who has had ring worm and just can't get rid of it??
I'm irritated as all get out right now. I just got a new cat we adopted. First night home I noticed a spot just behind his ear, and I said to Chris "sonofa... that's probably ring worm right there. *sigh*"

Well a few days later, Chris Txt's me a picture of a neat little red circle on his fore arm. Not only was it on his fore arm, but on his bicep, and 3 more little circles on his upper back/neck.

I thought I was lucky and started to treat the cat and chris for ring worm. About a week later, I got 2 spots under my chin and on my neck.

We started to clear up, the cat was at the Vets and she said he looked good (under wood's lamp) and said to just keep on putting ointment on it.


That was almost 4 weeks ago. We're going back today and so far I am battling my 4th round of outbreaks.

So far it's been:

Neck (2 spots)
Back of thigh (1 spot)
Palm (1 spot, blistered, infected, now back to normal)
Back of hand (a tiny little dot just started this weekend)

Chris is slowly getting over his, but he now has some in between his middle and ring finger... and found some this morning on his palm.

When the heck is this going to end?!?!? The cat is quarantined in the kitchen, I sanitized all of the laundry and cleaned the heck out of our bedroom and living room. I don't know what else to do, and I have no clue if cats ever actually clear up of ringworm or if they remain in a carrier state.

I'm this close to going to the Doctor for some prescription anti-fungal pills, but that won't do me much good if the cat is a carrier......


ok, end rant

:edit: NOT to mention, it makes dealing with rats that much more difficult, to little at all!
