So my boyfriend is not so good at taking care of himself.  He had athletes foot and I've been telling him to pee on his feet and you know take care of it. And he doesn't listen to me. So guess what happened he gave it to me... Accept not on my feet. I have ringworm on my breasts.  And nothing is helping I've yet to try bleach but the needle like pain from my nipples from leaking and rib pain a scratchy burning nasty looking ringworm on my chest is the last thing in my pregnancy that I want to deal with. :( it makes me want to cry. So are their any suggestions out there that could help me. The doctors here don't really seem to care much. I don't have any animals I don't use the same towel or shirt or bra more than once. Help please!

Any over the counter antifungal will do the trick. You can use the spray like Mykaylas or a cream. Please do not use bleach/alcohol/peroxide etc. They put at risk for worse infections by decreasing your own skins healing and infection fighting mechanisms.

I agree with bunnykissy that mixture works very well I used it on my daughter but also doctor should give u oral antibiotics. So if they're refusing to do so you may want to buy some triple antibiotic cream or anti fungal cream.
