Okay, i have read a lot of entries and you may all be right, but most of the remedies reqire a lot of work, and considerig i am only 16, i was ashamed of what i had and i hadn't told my parents or anyone. So i obviously looked online, researched and tried to find remedies, and what i found was an EASY quick, simple remedy with something I could find in my house. And i know a lot of people dont think this will work because it doesnt require much work, but thats the beauty of it.
So, what i used, is CLEAR NAIL POLISH!!! LOL I would apply the nail polish in the morning once i got out of the shower, and i would then put on tape, one that would stick to the skin and stay on! So i covered the area in the polish, put the tape over it, and do it every morning after my shower. It was easy, quick, didnt need to set aside much time in my day and it is REALLLLY WORKING!! It has only been a week and it is pretty much ALL gone.
And i know everyone is like A WEEK!? and everyone elses remedies are quicker i am sure,BUT dont go mixing chemicals and burning yourself and DONT let them control your life.
TIP: YOU DONT WANT TO SCRATCH, otherwise, you will scratch the blisters, re-open them and leave yourself suseptable to more and more ringworms. So LAYER THE TAPE to the point where if you scratch it, you will get some relief, but you are NOT scratching and reopening the blisters!
Works everyone! And i CANT wait untill it is FULLLLLLY gone, right now, all i have is a slight discolouration! yayayay!!

Be sure what you have is actually ringworm. I had one small/mediumish blotch that kind of hung out for two weeks, then boom it spread all over my upper chest and shoulders and abdomen and even started down my thighs. Looked just light ringworm but the remedies here didn't help and I got worried so went to dermatologist and she said it was a Herald Rash. The first blotch 'heralds' the appearance of the rest of the blotches. It does actually go away on its own after two or three weeks. But gosh it was horrible! I could have saved myself the $400 visit (no insurance) but the relief I guess was worth it to know it wasn't something serious.

TOOTHPASTE!!!!!!! Works like a charm!! Antifungal creams weren't working and since you supposed it goes away by drying out, I figured since toothpaste is supposed to help get rid of acne(by drying it out) it would work for ringworm too, and sure enough. I left it on for a couple hours, wiped off and then applied neosporin. My husband also used bleach instead of toothpaste and that seemed to work pretty good too.

Just dab a cotton ball into 100% Tea Tree Oil, and rub it onto your ringworm. Do that three times daily (moring, noon, and night). It works beacuse Tea Tree is an aniseptic. You could try Lavander Oil, but Tea Tree is better.
My mom's a massage theripist who works with aromatherapy so I got this from her.

I am in Argentina and recently developed ringworm on my calf. Currently being in the middle of the pampas on a farm, I do not have access to antifungal creams and such medicines. I did tons of research and began a strict regimen of a scrub of sea salt and vinegar mixed into a paste. Apply until dry. This has reduced the spots. I keep it covered when not applying treatment to prevent spreading. In addition, I went through the horse medical kit and found a treatment called trushbuster which while not intended for humans (due to it potency), has worked amazingly. It contains alcohol, iodine, formalin (not the best for human use), and gentian violet. The spots are clearing up even faster and it has only been 3 day. I figured any medicine meant to kill bacterial and fungal infections in a horses foot can for sure kill ringworm.

My son got a ringworm in his head and it took forever to start clearing up. Then he gave it to my daughter. My grandmom told me to put bleach on it. My daughters was dried up and gone in less than a week.

THIS REALLY WORKS!!! I went to Mexico for my honeymoon and contracted ringworm. This was no regular case of ringworm either - it was tropical ringworm that was resistant to most treatments because of over-prescription of medicines in Mexico. It started as a little spot on my back and spread all over my entire body in a matter of weeks. I tried everything... OTC medicines, anti-fungal prescriptions from the doc, other alternative remedies (nail polish, bleach - yes I was desperate) and nothing worked. So I finally was told by a friend to try TEA TREE OIL and I rubbed each spot as many times a day as I could and it worked like a miracle! In a matter of days it stopped spreading and started to go away. I now use the stuff on any weird skin issues that I or my family has.. Trust me - try Tea Tree Oil - the stuff is potent and kills fungus.
