RINGWORM!
Ringworm is not actually a worm, it is a fungus, and it is found on the surface of the skin. In most people the immune system can prevent infection. Many people acquire ringworm from kittens or cats, which may or may not show symptoms. Ringworm is most often a small, isolated lesion which goes away quickly with proper treatment.
No, there's no cure, but there are treatments to control the symptoms.
The common name for tinea corporis is ringworm. There are various treatments of ringworm that range from prescribed medication to home remedies. A prescribed medication for ringworm is ketoconazole. An effective and simple home remedy is to rub raw papaya on the affected ringworm patches, and to wash sheets and clothing everyday while affected. Apart from prescribed drugs and home remedies, ringworm can be treated with over-the-counter anti-fungal creams or drying powders.
Symptoms of ringworm include red, raised, scaly patches on the skins that itch severely and can also blister and ooze. It can be incredibly uncomfortable but can be treated by over-the-counter creams that contain miconazole or clotrimazole.
The causes are usually hereditary. The symptoms are a lot of pain. And the best treatment is to take a steroid.
Most ringworm can be treated with ointments, called topical antifungals, regardless of the location of the ringworm. If creams fail to eliminate ringworm or it is very widespread, antifungal pills are also available. 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.
