Ringworm

Insect bites are just one of the many skin conditions that can be treated by Clobetasol Propionate. Some other include swelling, inflammation, or itching of skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, rashes, poison ivy, allergies and other irritations.

No, ringworm is a fungus not a bacteria. It needs to be treated with a fungicidal. In fact, there is a small chance using triple antibiotic cream may make it worse since antibiotic creams are usually made to kill bacteria only. If you kill all the bacteria in the area, it may kill the fungus's (ringworm) competition and allow it to flourish.

Yes if his name is Cheese

"Ringworm" is a fungus infection of the skin and is not a worm at all, but is so named (or misnamed) because of the circular appearance formed by certain of these fungi as the infection heals.

The eyes are subject to a number of fungal infections, but these are not usually referred to as "ringworm".

Ringworm is caused by a fungus that is growing on the skin. It is infectious/contagious all the time it is present, it only ceases to be infectious after a treatment has cleared it up completely.

can be just about any part...see a Dr. a simple cream will take care of it, no big deal.

Ringworm is a highly contagious infection. It confuses many people as it has nothing to do with worms, it is an infection you get in your skin caused by red blood cells (i think) in the shape of a ring.

1) Bleach is very good at killing the fungus that is causing the problem. Simply dab the affected area with a cotton ball that has been infected twice a day. The bleach should not burn you, however do look for any allergic reaction. Reports are that the ringworm will be gone in as quick as 2 days.

*use this method first, i personally think it the best but read the others as well*

ATHLETE FOOT CREAM. Use athlete's foot cream to cure ringworm. Apply twice a day(morning and night), and keep covered with a bandage. No adverse affects except for removing the bandage!

2) NAIL POLISH. This application is rather more controversial, and you need to be aware of any allergic reaction to the nail polish but the tip is as follows: Apply clear nail polish to the affected area on a daily basis. What you are doing is suffocating the fungus. Sounds strange but it works

3) ALOA VERA. If you have an aloe vera plant handy, though the pure aloe vera dream should do the trick, rip a bit of it, split it open and rub the inside on the infected area....instant relief! It helps kill the fungus too, as does myrrh, for this one you drop 10 drops of essential oil in a 25ml bottle, shake it WELL, and dab the liquid on the infected area. I found that alternating the two throughout the day makes the infection disappear fairly quickly....I suggest that you carry around the myrrh mixture, so you can apply it every time you go to the loo! Smells nice too! Hope it will help. Oh keep on doing both until fungus is gone, and probably do it more sporadically over the next two weeks, just to make sure it is well dead!

4) GARLIC. Has a pungent yet multi-talented reputation. Its many uses include lowering cholesterol, controlling blood pressure, and fighting fungi and bacteria. A study published in the Journal of Dermatology shows that garlic is effective in destroying up to 90% of the fungi causing tinea infections. Dosage: there are several ways to apply garlic. Crush garlic in a paste with an equal amount of olive oil or honey and apply directly to the skin, leaving it on for one hour. You can also apply garlic oil to the affected area three times daily. For stubborn infections or scalp ringworm, eat 2 cloves of garlic daily (best done before sleep). Use caution with children. Garlic is strong and may actually cause blistering.

5) BLACK WALNUT. A strong antifungal that has recently gained popularity for treatment of ringworm and other fungal infections. The compounds in the bark and leaves act as astringent and antifungal agents, attacking and riding the body of fungi. Dosage: Black walnut is available in capsules. Break open a capsule and mix the powder with water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the infected area liberally and cover with a bandage for about two to three hours, three times daily.

6) TEA TREE OIL. A strong antiseptic. In fact, studies have shown that tea tree oil can be as effective as the popular antifungal medications for fungal infections. Dosage: apply undiluted tea tree oil to the infected area three times daily. Never ingest tea tree oil, use externally only. Tea tree oil can cause serious side effects and even death if taken internally.

7) LAVENDER OIL. Lavender oil fights ringworm, penetrating deep into the skin and helping heal infections and minimizing scarring of skin tissue. It also reduces inflammation and itching. Dosage: add ten drops of lavender oil to bath water or apply 10 drops of lavender essential oil diluted with a tea spoon of olive oil directly to skin to treat ringworm infections.

8) ALUM. Natural alum dipped in water rubbed lightly on the ringworm site night and day for 3 days. It stings a little at first. By the 3rd day, the area is dry, a little scaly and the skin may flake off. The skin area also darkens a bit but the color returns to normal in a few days. 3 days - end of story! Although this treatment was started as soon as the ringworm was noticed.

9) ATHLETE FOOT CREAM. Use athlete's foot cream to cure ringworm. Apply twice a day(morning and night), and keep covered with a bandage. No adverse affects except for removing the bandage!

no you just spread it

No, u will touch it then touch something or someone else than boom they got it

Its a red little circle that will be dry and it well itch but if. creams well help take it away but the most important party of don't mess with it

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.

Raised eruptions usually form the circular pattern that gives the condition its name. Ringworm may also be referred to as dermatophyte infection. As lesions grow, the centers start to heal. The inflamed borders expand and spread the infection.

No.

Ringworm is a completely different type of fungi than those you can get vaginally.

Ringworm is treated via oral medication.

Depending on where the ringworm is, you will need separate medication.

Scalp ringworm needs to be treated with a special shampoo and pill called Terbinafine.

Skin-based ringworm needs to be treated with a course of Itraconazole medication.

Vaginal anti-fungal cream will have no effect on ringworm.

ringworm isn't a worm, it is a fungi and so the "worm" does not eat anything (because there isn't actually a worm under the skin). However the fungi feeds on the dead skin cells on the outer layer of our skin. ringworm has the ability to digest keratin (that is the main chemical in our skin) and this is what it eats. it does this by doing extracellular digestion (this is where the digestion happens outside of the cells body i.e. on our skin and not in the cell)

Ringworm is no joke! Get to a doctor and get a prescription for an antifungal. Be sure to get an antifungal shampoo . . . ringworm can result in spotty baldness if left untreated.

My favorite treatment is the prescription SelSun shampoo. It obviously treats the hair, but it is good as a dab-on ointment. BUT, do not mess around with regular off-the-shelf SelSun AND make sure the doctor says OK for use on a toddler. Selsun contains selenium, which can be poisonous. The doctor may prefer a drug that is safer for kiddies.

If you want to make it worst, then use it. Ringworm is a fungal infection. You'd need an anti-fungal to treat it. A topical steroid normally will make bacterial or fungal skin infections worst if you use it by itself. This is because steroid lower your immune response. Steroid is good for inflammation, which is an increased in immune response to something. It's possible to use both topical steroid and anti-fungal at the same time because some yeast skin infection can be very inflamed also.

The best cure for ringworm is Gris-Peg antifungal; Gris-PEG is prescribed for the treatment of the following ringworm infections: Athlete's foot, Barber's itch (inflammation of the facial hair follicles), Ringworm of the body, Ringworm of the groin and thigh, Ringworm of the nails, Ringworm of the scalp. Because Gris-PEG is effective only for certain types of fungal infections, before treatment your doctor may perform tests to identify the source of infection. Accurate diagnosis of the infecting organism is essential. Adults: Daily administration of 330 mg (as a single dose or in divided amounts) will give a satisfactory response. Children: Approximately 3.3 mg per pound of body weight per day is an effective dose for most children. Because Gris-PEG can make you sensitive to light, avoid exposure to intense natural or artificial sunlight. Notify your doctor if you develop lupus erythematosus(a form of rheumatism) or a lupus-like condition. Signs and symptoms of lupus include arthritis, red butterfly rash over the nose and cheeks, tiredness, weakness, sensitivity to sunlight, and skin eruptions. If you are being treated with Gris-PEG for an extended period of time, your doctorshould perform regular tests, including periodic monitoring of kidney function, liver function, and blood cell production. Gris-PEG has not been proved safe and effective for the prevention of fungal infections. Gris-PEG may decrease the effectiveness of birth-control pills. Use additional protection while you are taking Gris-PEG. Men should wait at least 6 months after finishing therapy with Gris-PEG before they father a child. Women should avoid becoming pregnant while they are taking the drug. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once. When adverse reactions occur, they are most commonly of the hypersensitivity type such as skin rashes, urticaria, erythema multiform-like drug reactions, and rarely, angioneurotic edema, and may necessitate withdrawal of therapy and appropriate countermeasures. Paresthesias of the hands and feet have been reported rarely after extended therapy. Other side effects reported occasionally are oral thrush, nausea, vomiting, epigastria distress, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, mental confusion, and impairment of performance of routine activities. Administration of the drug should be discontinued if granulocytopeniaoccur. When rare, serious reactions occur with Gris-PEG, they are usually associated with high dosages, long periods of therapy, or both. Store Gris-PEG tablets at controlled room temperature 15°-30°C (59°-86°F) in tight, light-resistant containers. Any medication taken in excess can have dangerous consequences. If you suspect an overdose of Gris-PEG, seek emergency medical treatment immediately. Gris-PEG may intensify the effects of alcohol. If you drink alcohol while taking this medication, your heart may start beating faster and your skin may be flushed. If Gris-PEG is taken with certain other drugs, the effects could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Gris-PEG with the following: Blood-thinning drugs such as Coumadin, Barbiturates such as Phenobarbital, Oral Contraceptives.

Yes. Ring worm infection can be cured very easily. You have to keep the area dry, specially the groin. You can apply the clotrimazole dusting powder there. You should take griseofulvin (Grisovin FP) one tablet twice a day for six to eight weeks. You will get the complete relief within two to three weeks. If you stop the treatment, ring worm infection will return. Another important thing is to is to immerse the cloth in very hot water like undergarments. You can spare the elastic from immersing in the water to preserve the elasticity. This will kill the ring worms from the cloths.

With the proper medication, ringworm can be treated within 2 to 4 weeks. Without any treatment, the ringworm will usually clear up within 3 to 4 months.

Yes, they can have ringworms and other skin problems. Ringworms are diagnosed by examining skin scrapings, laboratory cultures, and blood tests to identify antibodies. Treatments include antifungal shampoos and rinses in conjunction with topical and systemic antifungal drugs.

According to the Blue Star Ointment website it does. I have tried everything and finally came across Blue Star Ointment and it is going away!! I had one on my hand I was so embarrased of it, but now it's hardly visible. You have to use it consistently everyday two to three times a day apply it.

Maybe it is because of indigestion.

According to Wikipedia ~20% of the population have it, so yeah, I'd say it's fairly common. You should be able to treat it with the standard anti-fungal creams and powders you can get from pharmacies.
