What if my pet licks ringworm cream? How long for an e-collar?

Question

I applied the antifungal cream on the ringworm kiwi has which is a very small dot and massaged it into her skin but what happens if she licks the wound? Although the amount of cream i used was very little like the size of a checkpea .. and if i use an ecollar how long should i keep it on once i apply the cream? Pet's info: Cat | Himalayan | Female | spayed | 5.7 lbs

It would be best if she doesn't like the wound at all as it will not heal if she keeps licking it. You should leave the collar on all the time if she is licking the wound. Otherwise, leave it on for about an hour after applying the cream to make sure it has had enough time to be absorbed into the skin.
