Ringworm

In medieval times, treatments for ringworm typically included herbal remedies and topical applications. Commonly used substances included sulfur, various oils, and pastes made from plants like garlic or other herbs believed to have antifungal properties. Additionally, some practitioners might have used cauterization or other invasive methods to eliminate the infection. Overall, medical understanding was limited, and remedies often relied on folk practices and trial-and-error.

Lemon is not an effective cure for ringworm, which is a fungal infection. While its acidic properties may have some antimicrobial effects, they are not sufficient to treat or eliminate the fungus responsible for ringworm. Over-the-counter antifungal treatments or prescription medications are typically recommended for effective treatment. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate diagnosis and treatment options.

Do a parasite cleanse, or see your doctor for internal mediication.

Because it may not be ringworm after all. It could be mange, a different type of skin condition than ringworm which causes hair to fall off.

About 100,000 people ..... You suck Carlos

What makes Ohio so differrent that the people living there wont get or will have more of the disease? Same everywhere. everyone is siseptable to ringworm.

Yes ringworm is highly contagious and a person should not have any type of contact with it

Ringworm is a condition of the skin. It is caused by a fungus, and the best treatment is an antifungal.

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 best way to diagnose ringworm is to visit a medical professional. Ringworm can be diagnosed using a special light or by scraping the affected area.

Yes of course

If there is fungus in your clothing, it can be killed by the heat of the dryer. Fungus needs moisture to survive, so a long turn in the dryer will kill the spores of the fungus. Make extra sure that the item is totally dry before you take it out.

If you need an anti fungal for washing, purchase brown bottle Lysol for the purpose. Add it to your wash in the recommended strengths written on the bottle. Many supermarkets and Walmarts carry this item. It will not change the color of your clothes, but will kill the fungus.

YES I have one on my leg right now and i can't stand it.

There are plenty of over the counter creams that cure ringworm quickly. If you let the ringworm carry on to long it can cause blisters on the skin which will be very susceptible to bacteria, In that case you would have to go to the doc for antibiotics. You will be ok.

it doesn't do a whole lotta good.

Ointment that's what I use

Yes You can. It works too. My son had a ringworm on both arms about a week after playing with a stray cat tha tlives on our street...I knew exactly what this particular item was on his arm becasue about a day after he played with the cat i notice a few redish pink little spots on his arm...they didn't go away after a few days and were increasingly becoming bigger. I WATCHED THEM AND ON THE THIRD DAY, IT WAS VERY clear what they were, circles with normal skin in the middle and reddish color around the circular shape border and it didn't connect all the way around, there was a tiny opening on one side....this is a ringworm fungus, seen plenty on kids as I use to work for the local school district. I got out my Watkins salve ( used for generations in my family) (we buy it from Cracker Barrel restaurant and gifts) (about $8.00)anyways, I applied this to my sons arm and covered it with a band aides Cris crossed over the area and withing the last two days the redness is gone and the area looks like it is going away and disappearing. I have only applied this for 2 days now and it already looks to be improving. My husband thought I was crazy but he even noticed the improvement. I called the company and told them, and they assured me it is very likely the product is in fact helping the ailment because the salve has antifungal properties in it...it has Phenol and antiseptic properties that are used to treat skin lesion and skin infections or ailments. I use mentholatum on my lips when chapped and campho-phique on cold sores (it dries out the sore and cleans the area and helps slough off the dead skin too) it also helpssoI don't lick them and also on skeeter bites and other bug bites. Yes these medicines have a medicinal smell...and smell like minty menthol.....but i would rather smell like my grandmas medicine cabinet then scratching all day or having chapped lips. Now I have Watkins salve for skin irritations...and ringworms....with kids you need good home remedies.. Thank Goodness because those over the counter creams are expensive and cant be used for anything else but their intended purpose. This salve has a multitude of uses! THANK YOU WATKINS.

yes,but if this happens you need to contact a medical profession immediately

Ringworm is the nickname of a fungal infection. If it is dead, it will not be visible, so if you can see it, it's still alive. You need an anti fungal cream, probably clotrimazole, which is available OTC. Or you can see your doctor for a prescription cream.
