It is more troublesome because the kitten is at a young age and has a low resistance, while the skin barrier is weak and recovery is very slow. It is important to diagnose the cause of ringworm and apply topical medication to increase immunity and improve the skin barrier to speed up healing and reduce the likelihood of recurrent attacks. It is recommended that kittens are kept in isolation from other kittens if they have ringworm, and that owners wear gloves to protect themselves during the care stage. Oral medication to boost the immune system can also be given, such as Kangenrin, High Immunity Factor and Purdue. Skin drops can also be used as a supplement to increase the skin barrier.
