Contagious? YES
Cure? Ask your Dr. Probably a cream.

It is very contagious. I had it once and the doctor said it is a fungus and to use the cream that you would use for athletes foot.

Mrz_Jackson · December 2011

Yep athletes foot cream will work

Very contagious! Make sure only u use your towel and wash bed sheets more often and wash your clothes towels and sheets separately to everyone else's things on a really hot wash. Good luck

Bluestar ointment works great its for ringworms clears it up fast

Vinager (sp) apply it 3times a day. Usually the Apple vinager but I think either will work.

@mums_the_word & @shelshay will my son get it just from touching me or from touching the infected area? How long does it take to go away?

& its on the back of my thigh

shelshay · December 2011

@clope18 I think only if he touches it. Keep your laundry separate including towels and washcloths and make sure no one in the household uses the same bar of bath soap as you.

Cover it with alcohol then clear nail polish this will kill it and keep it from spreading to bedding or baby. My dad use to get them alot during hunting season. Trust me it sounds weird but works. Also dont use the polish after on ur toes lol

@Kindell really? How long until it goes away? & how often?

get some tinactin it's very contagious

natashalynn · December 2011

It CAN transfer from other items. Ask any wrestler

clope18 · December 2011

@preggointx what's tinactin?

Kindell · December 2011

Twice a day for about a week.

Kindell · December 2011

make sure too use rubbing alchol each time too

BigBelly · December 2011

Yup tinactin works great and it's over the counter! It's a cream for athletes ,foot!

clope18 · December 2011

@BigBelly oh, I got Lamisil..it's probably the same thing b/c its for athletes foot also, the pharmacist recommended that one..ugh I hope it goes away soon

it really grosses me out

BigBelly · December 2011
