Covering skin areas that are infected with ringworm does not guarantee that a person is not contagious. Theoretically, direct skin-to-skin contact in water or a swimming pool or hot tub may spread the infection. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and medication plan.

Hello, Thanks for the query. Ring worm infection usually occurs on the chest, back, abdomen. Not in webs of toes. That is usually Tinea pedis or athletes foot. The ointment can help. But ideally the area needs to be kept dry and certain antifungal powders need to be applied and repeated exposure to water has to be avoided. Plus oral antifunagal drugs also need to be taken. Most important is diabetes needs to be in good control.Thanks.
