we've tried a million remedies for ringworm... some work better than others. An odd one that hasn't been mentioned is applying 'tiger balm' on the spot a couple times a day. It burns and smells, but completely cleared up the spots FAST!

My son had ringworm on his thigh. he had used prescription and otc antifungals, but the ringworm never cleared up. I gave him a tube of prepared Wasabi paste (Japanese horseradish)and told him to rub it on the spots in the morning and before going to bed. It totally cleared the ringworm. Two years later he got ringworm on his waist. The Wasabi cleared it totally again.

Use GENTIAN VIOLET to get rid of ringworm. I grew up on a farm and we used it to rid our animals of ringworm. It is hard to find and is often an ingredient in antifungal applications with other names, so read labels. It is gentle enough to use on children. If you can't find it in a health food store, look for a feed store that carries supplies for cattle. Gentian violet it liquid and it stains the skin purple so you need to be careful because once it is on the skin it has to fade as the skin exfoliates off.

I went on vacation with my husband to Mexico and picked up a nice case of tropical ringworm (drug resistant mutated version) and tried everything under the doctors gave me without any success. I finally did some research on homeopathic websites and tried Tea Tree Oil - and it worked! I had ringworm from head to toe and after applying TEA TREE OIL for a week - it vanished! I highly recommend it and you can get it at your local Whole Foods. Good Luck!

after weeks of using otc creams and lotions and sprays i started search for alternative treatments. i read about the nail polish technique. being a male i was not about to go out and purchase nail polish even if it was clear. I had new-skin liquid bandage at home and used this over the otc cream, it cleared the ringworm within 2 days.

Cut a lime and dip the inside part in salt and scrub the infected area (tingles a little) after that rince the infected area with water and apply Blue Cream can be purchased at your local drug store. Ive had ringworm twice and this helped. you can also use hydrocortisone cream. the key thing you want to do is to dry that pesky worm away.

If you can get to a walnut tree, then pick a walnut and peel the green hull off around it. Apply the inside of the hull to the ringworm. My grandmother told me about this remedy, and it works!

the best thing for ringworm is simple. (trust me i live on a ranch and im a livestock vet) go to your feed, tack and supply store and ask for CAP 50. mix with water as indicated on the bottle and it will be gone in 2 days. if you have livestock, spray the animals enclosure and this will help keep ringworm away.

Yes folks, I've tried New Skin liquid bandage and it really does help. First,clean it with h2o2...put lamisil or the like on...let it dry for 5 mins...apply New Skin on THE ENTIRE SURFACE ...make sure to come out of the ring just a bit...and please please please apply it from outside in...that is apply to the clean area outside the ring then work your way in...reapply 2 to 3 times..the thicker the better...do not peel it off until about a week or so...I have a ring worm the size of a quarter on my right cheek. First,I was skeptical however,I thought,what have I got to lose. You must not peel it off. Must leave it on for a week or so though. Without oxygen it can't multiply. Try this method out first and if it doesn't work then go to a dermatologist. WORD OF CAUTION : not all dermatologist know what the heck they are talking about. He diagnose my condition as 'skin irritation' . He did a culture on it and said that he doesn't think it's a ring worm. And told me to come back in a week for a follow up. He prescribed 1 bottle of soap and 1 tube of cortizone cream. I purchased it from his office. Walk to my car , sat down, think it over,flip at the mirror, looked at my face and I decided that I was going to go seek a second opinion. I went back inside to get a refund on the two items that I purchased ( i had it in my hand for 5 mins). It was unopen the seal was still on. He said he couldn't take it back due to HIPPA and that it was an 'office policy'. HIPPA has to do with patient privacy and if it was an office policy , it was not written anywhere on the receipt nor it was publicly display. I got cheated.

a year ago i had a ringworm on the inside of my left forearm. My dad said trust the doctor. I used anti-fungal ointment and everything and it took forever to go away, and it itched all night whenever i would try to sleep. One day i scratched it then put baby powder on it. It was just a lucky guess because the next day the ringworm was gone! Then a few weeks later i tried it again and it worked. Im not even kiddin it really works but it sounds crazy. Just scratch it put a thin layer of ointment Then over in baby powder. Mine went away in just 2-3 days. I got rid of 6 of them just like that. I highly reccommend this remedy
