Ringworm

The symptoms of tinea capitis may last for up to 8 weeks but is common to reoccur after medication is stopped. You know it's healing when the inflammation and itching subsides.

The quick answer is "you don't use Videne". You can use Clotrimizole, which is an anti-fungal drug. Ringworm is a fungus infection, you see. On the body, the fungus is tinea rubrum. On the scalp, the fungus tinea capitis. If it is scalp ringworm, the person will need lotions, shampoos, and probably a medecine by mouth. It is nothing to fool around with!!

One common brand of clotrimizole is Lotrimin. Also effective are prescription shampoos containing 2-1/2% Selenium (selenium sulphide). Selenium is poisonous in all but tiny amounts - that is why it is a prescription product.

Anyway, run the ringworm infection under warm to hot water until the skin pores open, then vigorously rub in the Lotrimin cream or the selenium shampoo. It can take weeks or months of doing this to get rid of the infection.

In worse cases, an infected person may have to take an internal medicine by mouth, which the doctor will prescribe.

In any case, you must take the drug or use the cream for a week and half after the infection disappears, to keep it from coming back.

you should do whatever your doctor or physician prescribes

Safe? - yes, probably. Effective? - I doubt it.

If it is a simple case not in the hair of the scalp you can use over the counter antifungals marketed for athlete's foot and "jock itch" such as Tinactin.

If it is in the hair you will need an oral medication that is only available by prescription. If it is not resolved after two weeks or is getting worse then you should see your doctor.

yes

Guava fruit as well as the leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin C and E; it also contains antioxidants and detoxifiers that are beneficial to fight against skin problems such as acne and other skin related problems.

Yes. If your bird has it, take it to a vet IMMEDIATELY!!!!! You could get ringworm.

Skin Infection

No, but it could cause similar appearing skin irritations.

yes they r

2nd answer:

First it is not 'they' . . . ringworm is a fungus infection of the skin that forms a circular raised ring that may look a little like a worm. Sort of.

The fungus is not particularly contagious, but close contact with someone who has it could transfer some fungus spores.

Treatment is by anti-fungals, especially those with sulfur and selenium

By the way you are describing it, it does look like ringworm,so,Yes. this is from Bobby. this is from Bobby. It is definitely ringworm. I am dealing with the same thing right now on the right side of my face. It started out as little itchy bumps that I scratched, but shouldn't have. I didn't treat because I thought it would go away, but it got worse and it formed a whole circle that looked real bad. It irritated me, it started itching, and it hurt sometimes. You have to treat it immediately or it will spread. My ringworm looks a little better now that I'm treating it, though it is still irritating. I use Calamine Lotion, it really works. Go to your nearest drug store and get it. You have to wash the infected area with soap real good, and then apply the Calamine Lotion with a piece of tissue or napkin. Never touch the ringworm or it will spread. After you wash the infected area put the towel in the washing machine or wash it immediately because the ringworm is very contagious. If anyone touches that same towel they will get ringworm. If you touch that same towel and wash a different area of your body, then ringworm can grow there too! I hope this information helps! The best of luck goes out to you!

Ringworm is a fungal infection and is passed between people and pets. Usually you can use an over the counter antifungal cream for a month and it will go away. If it persists, you will need to visit your doctor for antibiotics. If your cat has ringworm (areas with loss of hair), you may need to visit your vet. In the meantime, quarantine the cat and wash your hands after handling it.

Yes, ringworm can be passed from species to species.

yes..

No Cephalexin is used to treat bacterial infections. Ringworm is a fungal infection.

Ring worm isn't really a worm. It is a fungus. To treat you need an anti-fungal cream, but I would recommend going to your PCP to accurately diagnose that what you have is actually ring worm and not something else.

No

It's best to avoid scratching around ringworm, as this can worsen the infection and lead to further irritation or spread. Scratching may also introduce bacteria, increasing the risk of secondary infections. Instead, keep the area clean and consider using antifungal treatments as recommended by a healthcare professional. If itching persists, consult a doctor for appropriate management.

Yes. My doctor recommended it when I had one.

I do know the limitations to ringworm on the scalp, but i don't feel like telling you because I don't like you or your mum.

For the most part, yes. Ringworm is a fungus and it hates the salt water! It dries the fungus up and it may start to peel-which is a good sign.

no u don't have to

No, this can cure warts, but not ringworm. Ringworm is a tinea species, and clotrimazole, as well as other remedies, help treat this. Consult your doctor for your specific situation.

Edit:

ACTUALLY, yes, this type of topical wart remover contains a large amount of salicylic acid, which has anti-fungal properties and as such, can and will cure various types of ringworm with continued application. It should not be used on very small children with a fever due to it's aspirin like effects.
