Ringworm

It helps to dry it out.

Small children whose immune system is not fully developed, or an adult with a compromised immune system, are most vulnerable.

Ringworm is a fungal infection similar to athlete's foot. Pets are also vulnerable and transmit between humans and animals. All family members should be checked if one member gets it.

Humans with ringworm that is not infected (pus or open wound) and just the red spot can be treated with twice daily applications of plain old Lamisil or generic for two weeks.

It is critical to continue applying even after the spot is gone for the full two weeks, or it may return or continue infecting others. If the area is infected looking (pus, hot to touch, etc.) a doctor should be seen for antibiotic and to ensure tetanus shot is current, since ringworm is sometimes transmitted by damp soil or sandboxes where tetanus bacteria is common. (Kids sometimes acquire ringworm in sandboxes or making mud pies.)

Steroids should not be used to treat the ring worm infection. You may get the temporary benefit. But the disease will progress.

Initially ringworm isn't dangerous and can be treated at home. But, left untreated, it can spread and lead to potentially serious health problems.

The chicken pox life cycle is as follows: the virus that is called virus varicella-zoster which is the host cell attaches itself to specific sites on the host cell. Then following the attachment, the viral nucleic acid is inserted through the plasma membrane and into the hosts cytoplasm. After it is inside the host cell, the viral nucleic acid changes the metabolism of the host so that new parts of the virus are formed. These viral components parade in the cell to form new viruses which burst from the host cell causing the disease, and the chicken pox life cycle then repeats itself. See the related link.

Yes. Try topical cream which contains clotrimazole and Gentamicin sulfate. You can buy Clotrimazole creams at Walmart. I advice for better alternative treatment, use Lamisil Antifungal cream on any spots twice a day and an extra few days after it disappears.

On mines it dried up the place I put it and soon it turned Into a giant sore.ON the other hand it healed up and the ring worm was gone.

Ringworm can appear on any part of the body, and you'll never know how you got it - simply because the possibilities are almost endless. My brother got it on his leg when he was ten. My mother asked the doctor how he got it, and the doctor said "He's a boy, playing outdoors in the summer - that narrows it down to about 25,000 possibilities".

Research has shown that the Chickenpox causing virus, varicella zoster, remains in the nerve cells after recovery. Shingles, in later life, is caused by a reactivation of the virus.

Chickenpox occurs all over the body, whereas shingles forms a small rash on either the torso, face or neck.

Ringworm is a fungal infection caused by several organisms...and there are different types of ringworm. Vinegar is not going to end the problem.

If you are wondering if you should launder clothes in vinegar that have been removed from a person...or bedding...bedding from animal..the answer is: it would be better to launder them in Clorox and very hot water.

As far as putting vinegar on the spots on the skin, no....you can get clotrimizole or other antifungals at your pharmacy over the counter...or the best thing to do would be to see a doctor or a Veterinarian as the management of ringworm requires that you be educated as to how to eliminate it from your environment. Ringworm has spores that are difficult to eliminate.

Knowing more of your circumstances would help answer the problem.

Monistat 7 is made for the treatment of yeast infections in women. It is not meant to be eaten. It states the dangers right on the label.

no

no you just get it from a sand box. its not deadly!

Nope you can have many. Ring worm is an infection in your skin, and is not exclusive to one area of your body.

it does not last forever but once you have had it it may keep on coming back. always seek medical advice and continue using the cream you get otherwise it will just fade and then get bigger again.

Ringworm is not caused by a worm. It is caused by a fungus. The kinds of fungi (plural of fungus) that cause ringworm live and spread on the top layer of the skin and on the hair. They grow best in warm, moist areas, such as locker rooms and swimming pools, and in skin folds.

yes the UV light kills the fungus

Ring"worm" is actually a fungal infection, so creams containing clotrimazole or miconazole should be good; there are several over-the-counter antifungal creams for treatment of ringworm/athlete's foot/jock itch (which are all caused by essentially the same group of organisms). If those don't work, see a physician.

They are not disease peresay, but more afflictions. Athlete's foot is actually a fungus that grows between the toes and is caused by mold spores that thrive in warm, moist environments. Ringworm is similar to a tapeworm: it gets in through open sores on the body, most typically the feet.

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 is mostly treated just with a cream, it is however very necessary that you don't use the cream past it's expiration date. If you don't treat ringworm the skin might start to blister and then you will need antibiotics.
