To improve ringworm, keep the affected area clean and dry, as moisture can worsen the condition. Over-the-counter antifungal creams or ointments, such as clotrimazole or terbinafine, can effectively treat the infection when applied as directed. Additionally, avoid sharing personal items and wear breathable clothing to prevent spreading the infection. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment options.

Is it better to sleep with or without pillows when you have ringworm?

When dealing with ringworm, it's generally better to sleep with a pillow, as it provides support for your head and neck, promoting better alignment and comfort. However, ensure that the pillowcase is clean and changed frequently to minimize the risk of spreading the fungal infection. If the ringworm is on your scalp, using a clean, breathable pillowcase can help reduce irritation. Ultimately, maintaining good hygiene is key regardless of pillow use.
