Ringworm remedies suggested by our users
Ringworm is one of the common skin diseases. The disease is caused by a fungus, a minute form of vegetable plant life that grows on the skin. The disease is more annoying than dangerous
Ringworm symptoms
Ringworm patches on body are round or oval
The patches of ringworm on the body are usually round or oval, with raised pink and scaly rings which show a clean space in the centre. The itching in the infected parts helps to spread infection through the nails to other healthy part of the body. If it is not treated for a long time, the infection becomes chronic and is then difficult to get rid of
Ringworm causes
Ringworm Symptoms, Causes, Remedy and Diet
Lack of protective fatty acids in scalp
Ringworm infection occurs in the scalp, the body, the feet, and the nails. Ringworm of the scalp is common among children because of the lack of protective fatty acids in their scalp. The disease spreads on the skin and extends deeper into the hair roots, and also up along the hair. The affected hair becomes dull and breaks off near its root. This leaves bald spots on the scalp
Infected person's contact and use of infected person's articles
Ringworm is passed from an infected person to a healthy person by contact. It can also spread by the use of articles such as the towel of an infected person

Ringworm : Home Remedies suggested by users
All-fruit diet, curd and milk
To begin with, the patient should adopt an all-fruit diet for about five days. He should take three meals a day of fresh juicy fruits such as apples, oranges, papayas, pineapples, and pomegranates at five-hourly intervals. This will help eliminate morbid matter from the body and lead to substantial improvement.
Fruits and salt-free raw or steamed vegetables with whole-wheat wheat tortilla may be taken after the all-fruit diet. After a few days curd and milk may be added to the diet
Well-balanced diet
The patient may, thereafter, gradually embark upon well-balanced diet with emphasis on seeds, nuts, wholegrain cereals, raw or lightly cooked vegetables, and fresh fruits
Avoid tea, coffee and tinned or bottled foods
The patient should avoid tea, coffee, all condiments and highly flavoured dishes, as well as sugar, white flour products, and tinned or bottled foods
Other Ringworm treatments
Warm-water enema, fresh air, drink plenty of water
A warm-water enema may be administered to cleanse the bowels during the all-fruit diet. The patient should get as much fresh air as possible. He should drink plenty of water and bathe twice daily. The skin, with the exception of the part affected with ringworm, should be vigorously rubbed with the palms of the hands before taking a bath.
Apply coconut oil, sunbathing and mudpack
Coconut oil may be applied to the parts with ringworm spots. It will help the skin to stay soft. Sunbathing is also beneficial and should be resorted to early in the morning, at the first light of dawn. A light mudpack applied over the areas of the ringworm is also helpful. The pack should be applied for half an hour, twice daily

ring worm
suggested by kane on Wednesday, June 18, 2008

| News paper, white plate, preferably heat tolerant. Tear strips of news paper, couple inches long, 1-2 inches wide. Put in plate and light. Let the paper burn out. Blow out the ashes as to reduce the blackness. Now, in the plate u should see a yellowish residue. Rub the yellow residue over the affected area. Its easier if the residue is still warm. Use a clean finger that works best. Twice a day for about 2 days. However, the more often you do this the quicker it goes away. |

| Get a small amount of bleach and apply to the ringworm with a Q-tip. Repeat this daily and the ringworm will dry up. Usually one or two applications is all you need. |
Tanning Salon for ringworm
suggested by Ian on Friday, April 18, 2008

| Go tanning, cures it almost immediately. I had what I would consider a severe case, with a 7, and 5 inch lesions on my left and right triceps respectively. The Doc's prescription did nothing. Rubbing Alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide worked somewhat. After spreading to my biceps, forearms, back and forehead I was desperate. A friend suggested tanning, and after the first 10 min session the smaller sores were gone, and after the second 10 min session, the large, ugly sore were merely dry patches. Make sure it's a reputable salon that cleans the beds in front of you before you go, to avoid giving it to some other poor sap. |
