laRubiaBonita Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 what are some good Home & homeopathic remedies for ringworm? Link to post Share on other sites
a4a Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 It is just a fungus.... no biggie. I don't get it but I get animals in that have it. I cannot give you advice but I can say a friend of mine uses blue star...... I actually just use the same stuff I do on my horses fungicide. Rinse my hands in it after handling an infected animal. It usually just goes away in a couple of weeks. You may want to boost up your immune system with some good eating and some vitamins. It can spread thru shedding skin cells.... wash the stuff you got on a sanitary cycle... bleach (gets rid of demons too) if you can use it on items without harm. Link to post Share on other sites

DeeBrod83 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 you can spread it throughout the household though. I've always been told by doc's to just use an anti-fungal cream, like for atheletes foot or something. It usually goes away in about a week. Link to post Share on other sites
reneet Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I had it on my knee. It's really itchy. I used antifungal cream & it went away in a little over 3 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites

alphamale Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 how do you know you have ringworm? which parts of the body does it attack? Link to post Share on other sites
Author laRubiaBonita Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 how do you know you have ringworm? which parts of the body does it attack? if it is in your crotch area and you are a dude... it is jock itch, if it's on your feet its called athletes foot.... it can develop anywhere on your skin. i have it on the back of my upper thigh, so it's pretty much hidden unless i am wearing booty shorts..... which i do not think i will be for about 3 weeks.
