It’s named for its appearance: a ring-shaped patch that grows outward, with a raised, scaly border and clearer-looking skin in the middle. It’s itchy and mildly contagious, spread by contact with an infected person, an animal (often cats and dogs), or shared items, and by warm, damp shared spaces. Most cases on the body clear with an over-the-counter antifungal cream, though it takes about four weeks of consistent treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSelf-care products available in our shop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAntifungal creams (e.g., clotrimazole\/Canesten, terbinafine\/Lamisil, miconazole)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAntifungal lotions or sprays for larger or hard-to-reach areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eGentle cleansers to keep the area clean and dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply the antifungal to the rash and 2–3 cm beyond its border, and keep treating for the full course (often about 4 weeks, even after it looks clear).
