It may seem logical to keep ringworm covered with a bandage to prevent spreading the infection. However, bandaging the rash locks in moisture and slows the healing process. Instead, wear comfortable, breathable clothes to speed healing and avoid spreading the rash to other people.
Should you cover ringworm?
Spread the cream, beginning from the outside area first, then move toward the center of the rash (Picture 1). Do not cover the ringworm with a bandage. Wash and dry your hands well.
How do you keep ringworm from spreading all over your body?
After touching the area with ringworm, wash your hands before touching another area of your body. Touching or scratching the area with ringworm and then touching another area can spread ringworm from one part of your body to another. Washing your hands well can help prevent this. Keep the infected area clean and dry.
