Have ringworm and just got a piercing

2017-04-28 02:36:03
I was diagnosed with ringworm this morning on my arm. Without even thinking I got my belly button pierced tonight. I'm wondering if I should be concerned about an infection in my piercing. I also have a small patch on my upper stomach that the doctor said looked like really early ringworm and to watch it. making me even more concerned. I have a cream for the one on my arm and have cleaning solution for the piercing.
