I have had ring worm for 2 weeks. I have been on oral medication for a 1 week (still have 1 week to go) and anti fungal cream for 2 weeks. Is it still okay to have a revision breast augmentation in 9 days? The rash was on my back and spread to my stomach. Photos are attached.

Answer: Can I have a breast augmentation with ringworm? In the absence of an immunocompromised state, the fungal infection should clear without becoming systemic. Bacterial infection can become an issue with scratching and rubbing. Complete your treatment before surgery. Be sure to inform your plastic surgeon of the outbreak.

Answer: Ringworm and Breast Augmentation Ringworm is a fungal infection and is somewhat difficult to completely resolve. You may have resolution but then over time it will likely come back. However, given that breast augmentation is an elective procedure, I would recommend you wait until it is cleared up before you procedure with the procedure.Hope that helps.
