I had 1 ring worm on my right foot . since I tought it was only dry skin I never took medication or cream to treat it . After 40 days or so it became large but never itched it looked only like dry skin . I decided to go check with a doc and said it was ring worm and gave me lamasil to treat it . Later on that day my brother noticed another 1 on my upper back so I started treating it also , the next 2 day new spots started to appear on my groin so I decided to consult another doctor he checked my foot and my back and said it was definitly ring worm prescribed Nizoral shampoo to use daily for 3 weeks and keep using Lamasil. Since I started treatment (6days ago )the ringworms multiplied on my body really fast !!! this morning I counted them and I have 27 on my body and also the first one I had was like the colour of the skin no big differece but since I started treatment it looks very red and the ring appeared .

15 minutes I tried also the bleach method on a few I aplied bleach to a cotton ball and made a circular movment on the ring worm they started to burn a lot now they start to look like when you have an abrasion and starts to heal
IS THIS NORMAL WHEN YOU HAVE RINGWORM?????

i had a medium sized one on my leg and what i did was take a knife and scrape it really good. then wait a day or two for it to heal and apply the antifungal cream until it is gone. worked for me

Some people get ringworm differently than others. I went to 7 skin doctors and they all wanted to do all these $ tests and saying “IT IS NOT RINGWORM!” I tried to tell them once in football it was ringworm and the doc I wnt to tested a few cells on a slide and the following day said, “I’ve never seen ringworm like this either, but it’s definitely ringworm.” It had gotten so bad by then between sweaty hot gym cloths, uniforms (things sometimes not washed for days)and the skin doctor had told me to take hot baths in this aveiano stuff you buy at the store. Big mistake! Fungush thrives in heat and the water just spread it all over my body even worse. The only relieve was buying Lotriman ULTRA. I had to go thru 16 tubes, and 8 cans of strapy but pretty soon (about 4 weeks) it was gone.Washing all sheets and all clothes spraying floors doors phones and everything you toubh with the spray form of Lotriman is no fun. Mine were different. Apparently they told me they look like lesions AIDS patients get. My feet were peeling with fungus too. I used the spray for that - used anti-fungal creme and or spray an 2-4 times/ If your on a sports tem Tee everyone immediately. It’s highly contagious- forms on people in different ways. One guy had a huge circle (size of a record) on his back that was flakey bright red & would hurt. IT would even bleed and puss. Yah do NOT COVER THEM - you open the puss and the puss is the fungai of what causes them to spread within hours some pleae legs. At home wear lose clothing or non at all (serio usllllllllluspreadfday

I’m a wrestler and I am quite knowledgeable about these situations. I was going the slow way but I needed to get rid of it cause i compete in 3 days so i just stuck my one ring over a bottle of bleach as tight as possible and tipped it over waited till i got the shakes. I did this a few times within a thirty minute time frame until my skin was burnt and the place the ring was is actively bleeding. then dab with napkin. It stings a bit but get rid of it before it’s worse off. you should chase that with nail polish or do the moleskin thing.

Put a slab of fatback on it, and it will shrivel up.

im 17 have no animals dunno how i got it but i have about 6.. i know how i spread them..i thought it was just a bump on my stomach and picked at it and guess i touched other body parts.. the worst one is on my face none of them were even red but i wanted them gone and used lamisil. i had not had any improvement in a week so i used tea tree oil and apple cider vinegar which turned them dark red.. you couldnt even see it before now its awful. since i hadnt seen improvment my dr. gave me ketoconazole cream which hopefully will do the trick..i wouldnt be so worried but the face on is embarasin my hair covers it but at cheer and work i have to wear a band aid. hopefully they will go away soon i peeled the one on my stomach it kinda hurt is that bad for it?

Hello, I fiancee has these soars on the back of her neck. She thinks it is from her long hair rubbing the back of her neck. After reading this and looking at one of the soars, I believe it to be ringworm cause it looks like the one in the photo. What do yall suggest? Thanks.

I am nine. Ive had a ringworm my forehead for about a month. I am going to try the nail polish remover trick.

mine started out right under my chest area wasnt sure what it was bc i never had it b4…dont scratch it bc it spreads it spred all the way up my chest and neck and some on my wrist and on my head its driving me crazy!!!! just usint the anitfungal cream i hope it starts working really soon!!!!

I have had a ringworm on my arm for over a week now. Then all of the sudden I started getting them every where. So,the other day I was online trying to find something for this because it was driving me CRAZY. I don’t know where I got it from. So, as I was reading on how to get rid of it so many people was saying to use finger nail polish. I got up at 12:00 midight applying finger nail polish on every spot and it is drying up and no longer itching. Don’t give up when you see it turn red it is working continue it and use polish remover I am on my second day it is WORKING.

Hey guys… here are things that I have heard and tried… Get a BLACKLIGHT, check with the blacklight to see if it is active it will glow green! Ewww… but its a great way to test areas to see if the fungus is hanging around, my kids got it from a kitten, we put the blacklight on her and she glowed green…. OMG it was weird… So treatment has been for both kids and kittens, Selsun Blue shampoo now used as a body wash, followed by an APPLE CIDER VINAGER chaser dapped not rubbed on with a cotten ball, and a $2.65 box of equate anti-fungal cream (clotrimozole 1%) from Walmart, and swimming in the pool everyday, between the sun and the chlorine this helps also to dry it out… So far works great…

Please, don’t put bleach on your skin, very bad, use the Apple cider vinager, also DO NOT put a bandaid on it, this will help spread it as it lives and thrives for moisture, the NEW SKIN product will work as it is a lot like the nail polish trick, the anti-fungal cream helps but it was more of a way to difuse the pain of the sting from the vinager…

Good luck…

Make sure you change your sheets, towels, and rags everyday. Use dove and clear detergent soap, so your skin with not be irritated. I used just regular finger nail polish remover on a clean pad after my shower which I clean everyday. I use a antibiotic band under my clothes when I go outside.

I had ringworm over about 75% of my body. The hospital said it was dermatitis; then gave me 2 antibiotics to take which broke my system down and cause the ringworms to spread faster. I went to another hospital and they gave me a white fungus pill to take for 10 days. It worked, but I risk liver damage after prolong use. I got one on my leg a few days ago. I hot a copper penny, slowly place it on the ringworm. The itching stopped. I took a shower, dried off and put finger nail polish remover on it. I would clean out the shower after every use with bleach and pine-sol, leave the shower door open for the tile to dry. Change my sheets, towel, and rag every day. Bathe with dove. Wash my sheet with a little bleach, hot water, baking soda, and clear detergent. I would spray 91% alcohol on my sheets and towel before I use it. I used a antibiotic bandaid over the ringworms when I had to go out. The finger nail polish remover really does work. I use just a regualar remover.

i used a product called “manzanita magic”, which has manzanita, oregon grape, etc and apple cidar vinegar. it helps drying up the ringworm and i also apply lamisil once at night and it seems to be working. it’s almost 9 days now and healing up nicely.

So i had ringworm once and i tried everything…i found these to be very helpful!!
1) When you touch one immediately wash your hands because once you touch another part of your body you will spread it!
2)Put the clear nail polish on it make sure you use a q-tip because you will contaminate the bottle when you re-dip so make sure you don’t dip it twice. Leave it on for about 8 hours and re-apply, here is the gross part (it seriously works!!) peel it off with some of the ringworm and then keep reapplying until it goes away. It takes a few days but after a while you will see it become less and less.
3) Use the creams, apply a generous amount on the worm and cover with a band-aid. I had 2 soars on my neck and was very embaressing when i had to cover it up with these band-aids.

-You have to be patient as well, it’s not going to go away in a day or two it takes about 5-8 days so if you do all these things you should be okay. Don’t bother going to the doctor either it’s a waste of time!

I got a ringworm from my daughter who got it from her classmate. I put vicks vapor rub on it. It seems to help dry it out. I clean it and put vicks on it twice a day, been using it for a 2 days and its just about gone.Dont scratch or it will spread. The bandaid does make it take longer to heal but it keeps it from spreading. Remember to was all your bed linen daily as it heals or else it will spread to other parts of your body.

i got it on my upper thigh and now its spread to my other leg all the way around. And on my lower back. I have about 20 different little ring worm spots. It’s been difficult to get rid of.

I have ringworm on my armpit. It has bumbs and they look like pimples in a way. I don’t have the slightest idea how I got it. I had it when I was a baby in my hair so now my hair doesn’t grow like it should.

I tried neosporin, it didn’t work. I tried witches hazel from Walmart, it didn’t work. I’m going to try rubbing alcohol and the clear finger nail polish.

At first it was just a pink circle and it just got worse. HELP!
