Cornstarch is not an effective treatment for ringworm, which is a fungal infection. While it may absorb moisture and help keep the area dry, it does not have antifungal properties. For treating ringworm, it is recommended to use antifungal creams or medications prescribed by a healthcare professional. Always consult a doctor for appropriate treatment options.

Yes, it appears more often in African Americans. IT is not a worm, but a bacterial infection.

Ringworm is a very common fungal infection of the skin, hair and nails. Ringworm can occur almost anywhere on the body. Ringworm of the feet is called Athlete's foot, ringworm in the genital area is called Jock Itch. Each location has its own "name". In most cases, it can be treated with over the counter antifungal creams (Go to the "foot section" of any local drugstore and you'll see several products that treat athlete's foot. These will treat many other cases of ringworm as well.)

If a ringworm infection is severe or affects an area that is harder to treat, like the nails, beard area on a man, or scalp, then a course of oral antibiotic is most effective. Ringworm responds well to treatment and can usually be cured within 2 - 4 weeks with proper treatmment.

No, because ringworm is a fungal disease of the skin. Other intestinal parasites, such as roundworm can make a dog vomit.

nope

yes

Respiratory system

Taking vinegar internally with meals may improve digestion thereby strengthening bodily defenses.

Using vinegar topically will mildly inhibit ringworm (fungal) growth. This is not a sure cure. However, common household bleach will cure ringworm. It is usually mixed with water; at least 9 parts water to 1 part bleach. Often 1 ounce bleach in a quart of water is sufficient. Weaker solutions need to be left on the skin longer. For athlete's foot (ringworm on the feet) a few glugs of bleach in the tub at the beginning of a showed can stop athlete's foot in 1 treatment.

No. Red pepper cures nothing.

fungus,live on moist areas such as shower floors towels

No

Using baking soda with a little water to make a paste will stop the itching and can be used during a bath. This isn't a cure for ringworm. There is anti-fungal shampoo available with a prescription that can be used in the bath. Any athlete foot medication purchased over the counter can be used to treat ringworm because it is the same fungus as ringworm.

Ringworm is the common name for infection caused by a fungus. Worms have nothing to do with it. The fungus that causes it grows on your hair and skin, mostly on the top layers.
It is called ringworm because it is round with a raised ring and clear center.

The life cycle of the fungus can be complicated. I have included a link.

Yes you can. Ringworm is contagious. My kitten had it when she was 8 weeks old and we had to quarentine her in a small room for 2 weeks. People can sometimes pick up a case of Ringworm from their pet, but just because a pet has Ringworm does not necessarily mean that the people that interact with it will develop the condition. However, A dog or cat can transmit Ringworm to a person without showing any symptoms at all. Fortunately, ringworm is fairly easy to diagnose and treat. Doctors usually can diagnose ringworm based on how it looks, but sometimes will scrape off a small sample of the flaky infected skin to test for fungus. If you do have ringworm, your doctor will recommend an antifungal medication. A topical ointment or cream usually takes care of skin infections, but ringworm of the scalp or nails requires oral antifungal medication. Your doctor will decide which treatment is best for you. As for the matter of finding out if they have it? Signs of ringworm are typically circular patches of broken hair in ring-like patterns These areas usually heal at their centers, growing darker than normal hair. Surrounding this darkened area is a band of inflamed, reddened skin within which the hair is also broken off short. The most common areas for ringworm to occur are the face, ear tips, tail and paws. If you suspect your kitten may have ringworm it is best to see your family veterinarian. There are many tests which can be performed to help confirm a diagnosis. The Wood's lamp exam is one of them, and is actually how they found it in my kitten. In a dark room, your veterinarian will shine a Wood's lamp over your cat's haircoat. Typically infected hair and skin will be fluorescent yellow-green in the dark.
