Can ringworm be prevented?
Ringworm infections thrive in warm, moist conditions, so the skin should be properly dried after washing, especially in hot weather. Do not share comb, hairbrush, face cloths, towels or other personal-care items. To prevent athlete’s foot from spreading make sure that those with ringworm infection wash their hands after touching affected areas. Application of tal***** or other drying powder to the affected area may prevent ringworm from returning after treatment.
