If a person develops a Ringworm Skin infection on the scalp, he or she needs to get to a doctor fast! This infection can leave a person permanently bald if not treated quickly. In addition, this is extremely contagious and spreads rapidly in families and classrooms. The scalp ringworm infection is prominent among school aged children. Young kids tend to play together and be in constant close contact with each other. This helps to increase the rate of transmission for the ringworm fungus. Scalp Ringworm can be spread from person to person and animal to person. In addition, it can be spread from object to person. In other words, a person can touch something that has ringworm on it and become infected. Constant hand washing is extremely important. The best way to deal with scalp ringworm is not to get it in the first place. This is particularly nasty infection to get rid of once it starts. Not sharing combs and brushes is one of the best ways to prevent this contagious disease. Large families where there are a lot of children tend to share combs. This is okay as long as no one has scalp ringworm, but if just one person has scalp ringworm everybody will contract this infection. It is just not worth it. Make sure everyone has his or her own comb. Also teach your children not to share combs with their friends. If someone contracts scalp ringworm, he or she should go to a doctor as soon as possible. I am not going to recommend any home remedies here because it is too risky. A person can get permanent bald spots from untreated ringworm. Most of the time, a doctor will prescribe an oral anti fungal medication like Lamisil tablets. Taking Lamisil pills will put the medicine right into the bloodstream which helps to fight the infection better. However, Lamisil has side effects associated with the medication. The oral form of Lamisil is only available by prescription.
