Throw out any hats or anything that the
ringworm has come into contact with. We had
ringworm (three of the children including the baby and my husband). My baby got it because I did not throw the hat in the garbage and several months later, I put the hat on my baby. She got ringworm on her scalp and had to take the oral medication. There was a chance of liver problems with the oral medication, but the cream just does not work on the scalp.
