Ringworm can be transferred from person to person by direct contact (skin to skin) and also by indirect contact such as touching an infected person's clothing or even by touching a bench or other object that has contacted an infected person's skin. It can be acquired in swimming pool and hot tub areas by indirect contact. Humans can acquire ringworm from animals. Ringworm is contagious as long as lesions are present. It stops being contagious about 24-48 hours after treatment begins.
