How do I get rid of ringworm?
Use antifungal creams and ointments containing terbinafine, clotrimazole, or miconazole. These take about two weeks or more to clear the infection depending on the severity. Natural remedies for ring worm are less likely to cause side effects but may take considerable time and effort to achieve results. Here are a few home treatments you can use to eliminate ringworm on face:Vinegar wash: Mix equal parts apple cider vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and 10 parts water. Wash the affected areas at night until the infection goes away.Apple cider vinegar: This can be applied directly onto the rashes for faster healing. Wash the area and then apply the vinegar. It will sting but the infection should go away within a few days. You can apply toothpaste over the vinegar at night. Fungus needs moisture to survive and this will cause it to dry out and die faster.Garlic and vinegar wash: Among other things, garlic has antifungal properties. Press the juice from garlic and combine it with vinegar. Wash the affected skin three times per day with this mixture. You can also eat garlic to fight the infection from inside the body.Bleach: Mix equal parts bleach and water and apply to the rash. Leave on as long as possible and then wash off. The infection should clear within two days. However, bleach can scar the skin which could make for some unfortunate photos.Tea tree oil: Mix one part tea tree oil with three parts of a different oil such as lavender or coconut. Apply to freshly washed skin twice per day until the rash clears. Another option is to purchase a natural remedy for ring worm that is made from ingredients designed to kill the infection fast and keep it from coming back.

Please help me i really don't know if my ringworm is healing sometimes it look really bad that it's really red and really noticeable. Many people have been disgusted by my ringworm... Before: http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/54/awutiqzciairgno.jpg After applying medicine (Robinson Ringworm lotion): http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/8062/aw4pu8hceaajvyc.jpg I know the colour seems to be dimmer in the picture but the condition is that i am able to peel of the skin, i just peeled a little bit but i still couldn't peel all, in the middle of the skin only.

Do I have penile ringworm?
I noticed I have 3 or 4 red rings on the shaft of my penis on the underside. They don't really itch, but I have never had ringworm so I don't know if it is or not. I went to the Dr. and she told me that it could be ringworm, but didn't tell me what it could be if it weren't. She also mentioned that if the clotrimazole cream she gave me didn't work, then to come have a blood test done. This kind of worried me because I have been sexually active. I always use a condom when I have intercourse and they have never broken. I did receive unprotected oral once without a condom, but these rings starts showing up a few weeks after that and the Dr. told me a few weeks before(after the sex) that I was STD -free. I think it might just be ringworm because I was just on a long vacation in Thailand and is was really hot and humid there and I was sweating profusely. Does this sound more like ringworm from sweating in Thailand or something more serious? Any Drs. on here?
How long does ringworm last in the environment?
Ringworm can last until 18 months in the environment.It is very important to clean the home where the kittens live with physical removal of hair and debris, scrubbing with a detergent and rinsing of the area. Aggressive mechanical cleaning can remove infective spores from items or surfaces where disinfectants cannot be applied. If you have a sucky immune system, you are more susceptible to infection.As a vet, most of my friends already had ringworms, even not being ill, stressed or with a weak immune system. That's because the ringworm spreads easily between people and animals. I wouldn't trust in what Lorri Robinson said in here because, humans and animals can also be non-symptomatic carriers and can spread ringworm to others. So when he say that his animals don't have ringworm, just by looking at them you can't be sure. They can have ringworm and also have a strong cell mediated response, don't having the symptons, but still transmitting the disease. You can be sure only if you do a fungal culture.
