FASTEST CURE. 1 Part Bleach, 1 Part Water. QTIP. Do not rinse unless its on your face or somewhere else really tender. Then get rid of the spores by using bleach in the Laundry, Lysol on the furniture/bed. Bleach on the Bathroom floor 1 : 10. Don't reuse towels, Biggest pain. And don't forget to take a bath at least every other day in 1 or 2 cups of bleach in a full tub to kill spores/and or places you havent seen pop up yet. Vinegar was waaaaaay to slow for me, The creams were a joke,(4 weeks? are u kidding me) You will see results with bleach in 2 to 5 days. BLEACH, BLEACH, BLEACH!

It drove me insane. So you know when you have had enough playing games, the doctor tells you put this cream on, take this tablet... bla bla bla... and it does not work, you eventually have to fight fire with fire right? So I took the hot iron from my wife and burnt those little critters right off. Look it will bring a tear to my eye, maybe with pain, happiness or the pleasure of knowing you are killing them, it is hard to explain all these emotions. All I can suggest is do it outside, the smell, its not so good in the house, it can make people very sick. So I think im cured because I have not had it since, maybe they told all there little friends to leave me alone and they run away? Maybe they heard ther little pinyada friends screaming like little girls as they were melting or vapourize aiy aiy aiy one by one? I had a serious case of ringworm. It drove me insane.

I was putting every moisturizing cream on my hand that I could find, which was (duh) making things worse, not better. I stumbled upon Lotrimim and it totally works. It extinguished the itch and made the redness and welts go away within a couple of days. Do NOT stop using it until all of the redness is gone. You can "diagnose by treatment;" in other words, if Lotrimin doesn't work, it ain't ringworm. There is also a prescription cream called Nystatin that has the same effect, so I'd recommend making the decision based on cost. Antibacterial soap (such as Dial) will also help.

I have a massive one on my face, and loads on the top of my legs, i'm thinking of trying out the Calamine lotion technique if it doesn't clear up. How long will it take to go away do you guys think? :) I have ringworm at the moment and i am using Clotrimazole cream.

I just got ring worm from my 9 month old son. I am not sure how he got it, maybe from daycare.. It itches so bad! The doctor gave me cream and i've been using it for 3 days, the ringworm is still itchy and it is not decreasing in size! I heard bleach will cure it up but may sting. I also heard the 100% effective way to get rid of it is to have your doctor prescribe medicine. I think that is what I will do now! Hello. I just got ring worm from my 9 month old son.

I had ringworm for almost a year. I tried a topical creme that was working, but I stopped applying too soon, and it came back! I then used about 3 other types of creme but it just kept getting stronger, it devolped into some kind of avanced stage. I don't really recomend this treatment, but if you are tired of the ringworm, want it gone quickly, and dont mind a little pain use this method: 1. Mix bleach and water together at about a 50/50 ratio. 2. At first use a cotton swab to apply mixture directly on the ringworm for about a minute, 2 to 3 times a day. 3. after about 3 days if you do not see any reaction, you may want to soak it in the mixture for about 5 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day. This will kill the ringworm forsure. Be careful, if you soak it for too long you will get a chemical burn (like I did). This hurts pretty bad(no big deal though). I just used Neosporin to keep it from getting infected. yes, it was primitive, but that ring worm was gone within the week! This will work!

The nasty little thing is irritating precisely bcause it is contagious, persistently spreading to other sights or just getting bigger in the same area, and it is hard to get rid of it- as soon as it seems to be cured the filthy fungi multiplies and flares up again as soon as you get too comfortable and slow the treatment. The most disgusting part is watching it welt, turn white and raise slighty above the skin when enough Hydrogen Peroxide is applied-It makes my skin crawl and I want to cut it out with a knife and blow torch the area. So here is what I've found so far based on remedies that I've tried: Bleach works but it burns a little for a few seconds; this for me is bearable and better than looking at the nauseating revolting thing. You can dilute it for ease (no burn) 5 times or so if desired and apply it 3 times a day. It works FAST, I saw results in 2 days. Liquid Band Aid did NOT work for me. After applying it I waited about 3 hours to remove it and assess the results. Before I put on the LBA it was almost completely gone from my 2 day bleach treatment and after removing it the fungi had multiplied and formed a wider more solid ring around the area, much to my horror. Hydrogen peroxide does not work by itself and it seems to irritate it, especially if you continue applying it several times during one session. It swells and turns the ring white and a hard solid ring will form. Almost like white rocks around a camp fire- its quite disgusting but after a few minutes the skin will return to normal. If using Hydrogen Peroxide I would recommnd it to be used in conjunction with a topical anti-fungi treatment. You can get these over the counter at any pharmacy. The only thing is that this method takes up to 4 wks to cure completely. I've also found that powder helps it to dry up when used with any of the above treatments-after applying your bleach treatment or any other, just dab a little powder on the area and it will stay dry helping it to cure fast. Remember to wash all clothing, bedding etc., spray lysol/bleach on hard surfaces while treating this fungi --Good Luck.
