surprise surprise. i got that yucky infection by my armpit, it is soo gross and it itches like crazy, i'm so scared that if it goes away that my clothes will bring it back if not washed properly and not only that if i touch and scratch where it is at than touch another part of my body that it'll infect that area too. i can't stand it. i happened to have gotten it from my husband who got it from his best friend they used to play football together. on top of that i'm pregnant so the medication that will cause it'll go away within 2 days I CAN't even use. but i have to get something that'll take a slower time to get rid of it but be safe for the baby. it's so yucky. my mom in law said to put aloe vera on it, my husband had 1 on his neck it went away then went to the other side of his neck. it looks like it went away he used a penicillan cream, now his neck looks like gum dried up on it and he can't scrap it off. now mine is totally differnet, first it started like a little zit by my bra strap in the front ON BOTH SIDES. it was so weird and i had no idea what it was then it got bigger now its a circular ring the size of an almond. you think that's all, well it's not, like a week later it went to the back side by my bra on BOTH sides. only i didn't see when it was small i just noticed it after it became bigger. now the whole area from the front all around to the back is infected ON BOTH sides. it's like a mirror image. i was so glad when i went to the doctor and she said the magic words, "I SEE THIS ALL THE TIME" the gross part was when she said it was a fungal infection. but i did notice my body temperature getting higher after being pregnant so she said that could have also caused it to spread. it is soo nasty , good luck in getting rid of yours, god willingly mine will go away soon. i've had it for like a month or more.
: I've had my two girls for a while now and everything is going great except for one thing-I keep getting ringworm infections. I don't have any other pets and I shower every day, so could my babies be giving this to me? I always keep covered when they're on me, but you know how sharp those little nails are...they sometimes go right through my clothes. The weird thing is that its been appearing on my legs, not on my arms or anywhere else. Has anyone had this problem before? Could this be due to my gliders? If this is possible, does anyone have any suggestions on how to help? I know this sounds gross guys, but I really am a clean and neat woman...
