Has anyone ever delt with this? It looks like O has it on his inner thigh. Do i just use altheletes foot cream?

I had it as a kid and I remember my mom telling me to "just put some rubbinng alcohol on it".  she was kinda like the "put some windex on it" guy. it went away eventually. I'd call the advice nurse since it's for your little one, just to be safe. GL!

My mom had it but i forget how she got rid of it. Be sure to keep it covered so that he doesn't give it to you or his sister, I do know it is highly contagious.

I do know you use an anti-fungal. We had a rx on hand for Aiden when he had it...and of course the name escapes me and we don't have a bottle of it anymore. Sorry I wasn't much help.

I had it as a kid - I know I had to get prescriptions and stay home from swim lessons because it's crazy contagious.

You may want to get it checked out before treating it as ringworm. We thought DD had it recently and it turned out to be eczema. If it is ringworm, you will need a prescription for an anti-fingal.
