How do you treat ringworm of the scalp?
Ah, the preschool years. Youngsters learn their way around crayons, find that carpet squares can make adequate substitutes for their beds at home during nap time, and savor the oddly appealing combination of grape Kool-Aid and soda crackers. There is little to worry over in these young lives yet, save perhaps the fleeting humiliation of having to take one’s place in the back of the line after failing to successfully tie your shoes. Eventually, though, the sting of embarrassment becomes a forgotten memory. Luckily, this unrefined sense of humiliation mitigates the fact that preschool-age kids are likely to contract ringworm of the scalp. This common skin infection is easily transmitted in a number of ways: through person to person contact, person to object contact and animal to person contact [source: Mayo Clinic]. (It can also show up on other parts of the body.) Young children attending preschool together
