So far BF and I have been fine and my other cat. I constantly look at Henry's coat and skin. When I say Jack stays away from us he was like that for two weeks. He would sit by the window, in the sun. It has been a week that he has been around us more and more.
We do play with him.

As others have advised, you need to continue the medication for the ringworm. I seriously doubt that the topical med is burning the skin. Cats do not like to feel a drop of "wet" on their skin, and may become indignant and hiss & growl a little in their best 'drama queen' impression. This might be especially true for a young kitten who's never been medicated before, or handled much. Cats and kittens live in the moment, and whatever indignities you have to put them through will quickly be forgotten. That's especially true with young kittens. Their memories, right along with their attention spans, are rather short.
Oh, and good luck with your new owner.
