the only reason you would get a ringworm is if you are a sissy and dont shower right after practice, all sports all over the world is the same, there is always the ***** that is scared to shower, wrestling is the best sport, dont let a little ring worm scare you of the best sport, you can always kill it and always prevent it, make sure you use soap!
@slayerA0D I have gotting ring worm, I shower all the time after Judo and basketball and what not, I am extreamly clean to, and I got it. Sometimes people could touch a door handle at the mall when they had ring worm and you could have touched that same spot then rubbed your chest or something, you can get it that way too..
damn i might have this!!!, my patch looks like the pictures from google thats a white circle and a ring around it. i thought it was Pityriasis Rosea...but it probably isn't cause it itches... i probably got it from my brother who has rashes...sonofabeach!
my 4year old doughter is looseing hair too much plzzz help ,i saw a some pates of dry flaky dry skin on her neck i used sorblene as wash and it was gone but she is still looseing hair too much plzzz help
@BarqsIsBest it should but arms are really not that sensitive. does it seem to have an advancing border with complete healing in the center its probably a ring worm.
@MrBurnslide bleach is probably a bad idea if you dont know how to do it because although it will dissolve mold and fungus and remove the dead skin cells the mold uses for food , it can leave the living tissue damaged and susceptible to secondary bacterial infection.
omg i have ringworm now...i took in a free kitten and my friend just took it after i had it for a week and now i have ringworm ALL OVER...arms, legs, neck, and face. it sucks!
@SgtThom as you grow older you start to secret a fatty acid on your oily skin that is inhibitory to mold. to bad they have not marketed the fatty acid because its non toxic.
I got the bastard on my stomach back and arm nasty fucker, treating it with topical cream so hopefully should go. :) Athletes foot powder does have an effect on it if you have not got any cream also aloe vera is good :)
about last month it appeared as a rash on the back of my hand. it was in the form of blisters. i left it alone and it now it looks like a scar with no more blisters. it hasn't spread anywhere else and hasn't gotten worse.will prescription creams treat my ringworm condition even though ive had it for a month and a half now?
And suffocating the fungus retarded as fungus is anaerobic,... meaning without air. Ring worm is not a worm either just a fungal infection. Like athletes foot...
@ecnola rubbing alcohol works fine in the lab but here is the rub, alcohol replaces the water, then the alcohol evaporates, can you really do that to your skin considering it sits atop more water.
@kterbo wrong, fungus are aerobic. if they were anaerobic they would not grow as a pedicule floating at the top of a flask of nutrient broth now would they. not only that but the reproductive structures are never seen inside a human body just the asexual hyphae. the fruting structures are only seen growing freely in air. think it though.
Sorry I sounded harsh but yea it does not need air but, what may have worked for you is the fact that you were using something with strong ingredients. If that was the case then I assume nail polish remover would have worked too.
ring worm is a bacteria that make your scalp itch. symptoms are flacky itchy skin. and it will probably most likely burn and hurt really bad. you should go see a gp and they will give you great advice on what you should use if you have it.
Yes, if ringworm is bad, it is the most itchy horrible thing ever. A bad case you can't concentrate on anything! And DO NOT ITCH! It will get worse and worse! Trust me! Athletes foot and ringworm is a fungus, it has spores, unlike a bacteria, it has little "seeds" that are near invincible.... haha.... the spores re infect...they stay near invincible and spread very easily. Continue use of medicine long after symptoms are gone, the spores are very hard to rid of.
@EthicOfReciprocity actuall the fungus that cause the medical condition ring worm live only with on or within dead skin hair and nails, no where near a nerve cell. the pain of itching is your body releasing agents against the fungus and the fungus releasing keratolytic agents upon dead skin cells.
has anybody cured ringworm completely before? how did you cure it? i just think that anti-fungal cream doesn't work really effective because it takes too long time.
Bleach with Sodium Hydroxide (lye) will eat through your skin, and that wouldn't be good because not only would you have severe chemical burns, but the ringworm would bury deeper.
Creams fail because they take 4-8 weeks and they rip you off taking all your money and some yo can't use on your face like Lamisil.
Bleach is what? $1.50 for 3 quarts which would last you years (but the chlorine is lost over time as it sits and as its exposed to light so replace after at least 90 days), and you can use it to disinfect your home and surfaces to help rid of the infection, you can't do that with Lotrimin or Lamisil.
Having great results, also very useful for athletes foot too.
Bleach. Rid of most ringworms in 2 days. Make sure it only contains Sodium Hypochlorite (like Clorox) about 5.25% or 6% is average, dilute anywhere from 1-10 times and use, test a small amount and wait a while, if you get any allergic reactions discontinue use. I'm using a 1:2.5 solution. It doesn't leave chemical burns unless you use too much of a too strong solution on an open sore. Apply with a Q-Tip. To avoid reinfection put a couple tablespoons of bleach in bath and soak up for 20 mins. lol
Yeah! All that is left is a faint scar/mark of the ringworm. But I had to get a prescription for it to actually work. I tried bleach and other home remedies but not of them worked long term.
i finished my football season and i got it on my chest from not wearing a shirt under my chest pads and i got it on my right ear i think from my helmet. i hate this shit
i got one of these beches on ma face !! nd ferst it was a pimple then it turned into a ring.. then somone told me it was for pets so it made me mo pissd dat i got a pet disease on ma face but watever ist all gon now xD
Listen if you have not found a cure yet... as the creams didn't work for me. I used pure Tea Tree oil or you can use concentrated oil of Oregano both are anti fungal. Mine cured up in three days after use. I bought mine at a natural grocery store for under ten dollars. good luck!!!
@kterbo well, its well known that immunity can be natural after all do humans suffer from lettus rot? well one did but thats a different story. so there is some scientific basis to your cure.
I had ringworm.. Got rid of it. But.. I still have jock itch.. Which is just like ringworm except its on your groin area and butt. I hate it and it is very annoying. But I'm just gonna keep applying anti fungal.
i have ringworm! i been 2 da doctors thy say it's a natural thing.. it's nt somthing 2 worri.. about thy leave it as a question mark... i would like to knw y i got it...
I haven't damaged my skin, barely a mark has been left from what was left. I'm down to the least I ever had now, and I'm almost finished! just 1 or 2 more days left of treatment and I then prevent reinfection with 20 mL bleach added to bathtub of water to soak in for a while to rid of any spores.
my friend has a ringworm on the back of his neck, but it isnt a complete circle, like about half a circle, and it almost never itches, unless he scratches it a lot. and hes had it for a very long time he says, but is this a ringworm? (and yes, i have been his friend since elementary school, til now, highschool, and no one i know has gotten ring worm.)
I have Ringworm......and idk what to do, and i also have this......red but thats scaby on my side...it looks like a wort but its not.. and its getting bigger, and i have a lumb on my leg...
I have it, just treat it with anti fungal or the name brand I use is tinactin. All you do is rub it in for 2 weeks then It should be gone if not then talk to a doctor BUT after the 2 weeks are over, treat for another week so it dosn't come back.
the only reason you would get a ringworm is if you are a sissy and dont shower right after practice, all sports all over the world is the same, there is always the ***** that is scared to shower, wrestling is the best sport, dont let a little ring worm scare you of the best sport, you can always kill it and always prevent it, make sure you use soap!
