Contacting ringworm/rash from a dog

16 years ago

Its possible right?I fostered a dog until it could be placed in a home,approxomately a week.We've had cold temps for about two weeks and knowing she was housetrained I let her stay inside.I bathed her but I had to get in the tub with her and hold her between my legs.I now have a rash that itches like crazy on my lower legs where they touched her,same place on both legs,while this doesn't look like ringworm a little higher up before you get to the knees I have two spots that do look like ringworm.My legs touched her there to.By the way she did not have anything on her body that looks like ringworm according to the pics you see on the internet.I did notice she had a little flaking in her fur.I assumed I didn't get her rinsed well.Its not the shampoo I used on her causing a rash for me as its the same I use on my bassets.I'm trying to avoid a Dr visit for myself,any way to treat it at home?Thus far I've used lotrimin,lamisil,calmaine lotion and while that helps in the daytime,its the nighttime itching that is the worst.By the way its only the rash area that itches.The other that looks like ringworm doesn't itch at all.This may not be related to the dog at all but it was a day later I noticed the rash/bumps and itching and thought I caught something from the dog.So anyone ever conatcted anything from a pet?TIA...Debbie
