First, I'm sorry to hear this. What a bummer :/
Secondly, definitely see your doctor for advice on how to handle this. No one here can really give you the advice you need because it's really not a Disney related question. So, any advice you get here is as good as a random person on the street. Also, make sure when you do your research, you stick to sites like MedlinePlus, CDC and MayoClinic.
That being said, my guess is you would need to (and want to) keep all lesions covered throughout your trip.
Good luck!
No, no. My intent wasn't to criticize you, I just want to make sure you get the best advice possible, which I was just warning that this may not be your best bet for that. Keep at those oils, they can work wonders (though your doctor may tell you they won't work ). But who knows, if it's early enough maybe you can thwart it with the oils and prescription cream.Thank you!!
Actually, you're right. I don't know why my default was to come to the Disboards, LOL. You guys have been too helpful in the past. Now when I have an issue related to WDW in any way, instinct draws me here. I've been killing the rash with tea tree essential oil and coconut oil. It seems to be getting less pronounced, but I'll see a doctor asap, just to be safe. Thanks again for such sound advice.

I know people think coconut oil and essential oils can cure everything, but they can't. See the doctor and get an antifungal if it is in fact ringworm.Thank you!!

I'm not an anti-vaxer nor am I against modern medicine (by any stretch). But essential oils and other homeopathic remedies CAN alleviate symptoms, speed up recovery time and even potentially thwart a major case of a condition (if remedied early enough); when used in conjunction with a scheduled prescription and licensed medical care. It is not a magic bullet and nor should it be used on its own with a serious condition but to say it does nothing but smell good is completely false and is not even really medically controversial. Though, I'm not sure if that is what you are implying. But that's just one of those talking points people latch onto and then just repeat.I know people think coconut oil and essential oils can cure everything, but they can't.

PLEASE go see a Dr.! Essential oils are OK for spas, but they won't treat, cure, or improve any real physical ailment especially a fungal infection. Trust me, go get some anti-fungal cream and you'll be good to go by the time you hit the parks. Have a great time!

Again, just false. Oregano oil and tea tree oil have proven anti fungal characteristics that can can help ringworm, athlete's foot, etc. Especially if used early. If not used early enough, it can speed up recovery time and decrease discomfort level when used in conjunction with prescription medicine. There are actual medical studies that either prove or suggest this. Your blatant claim that they won't "they won't treat, cure, or improve any real physical ailment" is false and irresponsible and this is exactly what I meant to OP when I said to not come here for advice because people don't know what they are talking about.PLEASE go see a Dr.!
