Frank Booth9 thanks.
We can't use Lamisil because he’s just too small, and those spots are right on his belly, for crying out loud. I've been washing his colorful clothes at 140 degrees and the whites at 203. Since we haven't seen any sunlight lately, everything is just sitting in the dryer.
This is already the third week of this nightmare, and I'm heading back to the vet today.

Greetings. My nine-year-old son has come down with Microsporia. We don't even own a pet here; he was just playing around with the neighbor's dog. So far, I've been applying Plymicol 2, but it doesn't seem to be doing much, and now these spots are spreading almost everywhere—mostly his stomach and back, with some on his arms and legs too.
Is there a risk of the rest of us catching this?
I've been tossing his bath towels straight into the dirty laundry pile, and I make sure to swap out his sleeping shirts every other day.
How often should I be changing the bed linens?
Will running everything through a standard washing machine kill off the fungus?

I see people talking about disinfecting their entire house; is that necessary because of the dogs, or should I be doing that as well?
