How do you kill ringworm spores in home. Will steam cleaning kill spores?

howto kill a ringworm"Ringworm", oddly enough, is not a "worm" at all. Instead, it is a fungal infection of the skin. The fungus can be treated with any number of anti-fungal medications. One way to treat ringworm is to put over-the-counter athlete's foot medication containing clotrimazole on the area twice daily for several weeks. Your doctor can prescribe stronger kinds of topical (on-the-skin) medication if needed. Finally, in severe cases, an oral medication like Lamisil may be used to eradicate the infection. Prevention is important. The fungal organism that causes ringworm is found in the soil, and is often transmitted to humans by contact with their pets. If ringworm is diagnosed in a person, they should have their pets checked for the infection. Otherwise the patient may simply become re-infected after treatment.

What Treatment Options are Available for Ringworm?

Most ringworm can be treated with ointments, called topical antifungals, regardless of the location of the ringworm.

Fluconazole, also called Diflucan, terbinafine, also called Lamisil, and griseofulvin are all oral treatments for ringworm. Though the rash might begin to clear quickly, it is important to use medicine as prescribed. Treatment usually needs to continue for two to four weeks.
