I have a mother with twins that will be delivering soon at 37 weeks. She has open ringworm lesions on both breasts. Her OB has tried several topical ointments to try and get rid of it but has been unsuccessful. I cannot find much information on this and whether breastfeeding is contradindicated due to the highly contagious nature of ringworm. Does anyone have any information on this or taken care of a mother who had ringworm and breastfeeding?
