It's been two months now that I am staying in one room with a friend infected by ringworm. For the 1st few weeks, I had no idea that he is suffering of ringworm infection until I observed him seems he had. We shared personal items (bedsheets, pillows, towels, etc.). Only now that I had the courage to ask if he has skin infection. He admitted and showed it to me. His back has severe infection by ringworm. Because he could not reach his back to apply ointment, I'm the one doing now. He kept it secret to me, he was ashamed to show it to me when he was applying for ointment. This is the reason why until now, still no improvement, because of no regular medication.
My question is, we are staying in one room for more than 2 mos., had direct body contact with him, shared personal items, what is the probability that I can be infected also.
