i raise hairless cats in texas where ringworm runs rampant so i have had my share of it. ringworm is a fungus, i understand it is the same fungus that causes athletes feet and jock itch. use an inexpensive antifungal cream meant for that purpose. lavender oil will also work, try it full strength, if it burns mix it with a little olive or castor oil. my vet primarily treats cattle and horses and taught me to use "sulpher lyme dip" in really bad cases such as with a badly infested rescue. this stuff smells really bad but it will do the trick. blessings, julie m.
