Things You'll Need
- 2% iodine or Whitefield's ointment
- Cotton swabs
Instructions
Purchase a solution of 2% iodine or Whitefield's ointment, which can be found at many drug stores. Make sure that the drug store is reliable, as some of undependable ones can be frequently found selling off the expired medications.
Gently remove the crusts from the ringworm lesion by brushing and scraping. Collect the scrapes and burn them to avoid any chances of spreading. Do not use your bare hands to do this.
Apply the medication regularly on the lesions with the help of a cotton swab until the condition heals up. If it persists, seek attention from a vet, who can prescribe antibiotics or other stronger medications.
