Can Ringworm in Your Bloodstream Infect Your Implants?

Worriedsick
I recently had a huge outbreak of ringworm. It spread all over under my breast, arms, abdomen, and back. I have been to the physician and been put on diflucan and ketaconozole cream. Some places have cleared, but some are still red and itchy. The doctor said it probably spread everywhere due to it getting into my bloodstream. Is it possible that it has gotten into my breast implants? If so, how do I find out and what do I do?
