When my Step-Daughter caught ringworm i sterilized a penny then soaked the penny with bleach and placed the penny on the ringworm and about a hour later it was gone.

I’ve been taping cotton swabs to my fingers that are soaked in tea tree oil and I’m seeing fast results. Also I wanted to mention that lots of fungus can be suffocated by using duct tape. I had planters warts that I wrapped in duct tape once. It took about 10 days for them to disappear. Hope this helps

On the farm the cattle got the “ringworm” and a neighbor told us to use old dirty motor oil and apply it to the infected areas. It not only worked for the cattle but for my brother who got infected as well.

You can use antifungal creams and sprays even if they are for a foot they all work the same. When you go to sleep use a cream and put a gauze pad on for overnight, it works great and really helps the itching.

I have used sulfur dip with great and rapid success. The drawback is it stinks. I have also successfully used tea tree oil, but that was a small spot caught early, whereas the sulfur took care of a severe case I had years back that the prescription meds could not help with at all. Iodine does work, but the sulfur is much quicker. I am trying apple cider vinegar this time. The basic concept of all of these methods is to upset the ph of your skin so as to make it an inhospitable host for the ringworm fungus. So, most if not all of the aforementioned remedies will work. Just be diligent, don’t forget to treat it and give it a chance to get stronger.

I had a spot of ringworm and my Dad said to put iodine on it three times a day for nine days; it completely cured it and my doctor was amazed. My Dad said he got it from his mother and as he raised dogs he said he used it and it always worked.

Goldenseal powder mixed with a little water to form a paste and applied directly to the ringworm. Let dry and apply as needed for up to a week. This works especially well for darker skinned people as a big white mark (scar) is not as noticeable as other cures. Yes, I said “cures”. Wutuvit.
