Ringworm is a common skin disease that is usually caused by contact with an animal or person who is infected. The initial symptoms of ringworm in cats are mainly manifested as local redness, swelling, itching, and sometimes blisters or papules.

If not paid attention, these symptoms will gradually spread into skin lesions and deciduous diseases, causing a lot of itching and discomfort. Therefore, if you find the initial symptoms, you should go to the hospital for examination and start treatment immediately. However, before you are diagnosed with ringworm, you may have been in contact with someone else and placed your bacteria onto someone else's skin. Therefore, if you are exposed to sick animals, especially cats with tinea capitis, you need to pay special attention to protective measures. Here are the graphs you can do to prevent the spread of early symptoms of ringworm. First, avoid close contact with others when you have suspicious symptoms of a skin condition. Secondly, avoid other people's clothes, bedding, towels, bath towels and other common items. Wash and disinfect when wearing your own clothes. If you sleep in the same bed with others or live in the same room, you can ask your doctor before arriving in the room to see if your treatment plan allows you to do so and cover your health affected areas. Finally, remember to wash your hands frequently and disinfect items to prevent potential threats to your family and friends. At the same time, the treatment of ringworm in cats is also extremely important. The treatment of ringworm is particularly rigorous and requires the guidance of a professional doctor, and the treatment process needs to be strictly followed. Usually the treatment period is long and may have persistent symptoms, so the patience and support of the patient and family members are required. Commonly used drugs include oral antifungal drugs, topical antibacterial drugs, etc. The treatment time generally lasts from 10 days to several weeks. The specific time should be selected according to the degree of the disease and the doctor's requirements. After the course of treatment, regular follow-up visits should be followed up and subsequent treatment should be carried out to determine whether the drug treatment period is needed or other factors such as postponement of the course of treatment.

In short, even if you do not have an early symptom chart of ringworm, you should read it carefully and pay attention to the following measures to prevent ringworm. Especially when in contact with patients, the spread of your own bacteria should be prevented. And when you or others have initial symptoms of suspected cat ringworm, be sure to consult a professional doctor immediately and treat it according to the doctor's requirements. Only by unified treatment and protection can the spread of ringworm be truly suppressed.
