Answer 2

If it is ringworm it will show as an round area (sometimes with a tail off it) and the hair will break off in that circle.. Ringworm is fluorescent under a black light (disco lights that turn white a glowing blue!) and if it is ringworm the vet will prescribe an anti-fungal cream - Ringworm is actually only a fungus and is not a living worm like creature. I have found that Tea-tree (Melaleuca Oil) oil is very effective on ringworm as it is anti-fungal antibacterial and because it is an oil it is also not too drying on the skin.. To apply the tea-tree oil do not use the 100% concentrate use the 15% dilute mix you can buy at the shops and apply it sparingly 3 times a day to the area with a cotton ball/wipe. Tea tree is also good for hot spots on dogs as the cream they often prescribe makes the hot spot weepy and lasts a lot longer. I am not sure when it stops being contagious but wash you hands often and wash all of the dogs bedding with a splash of the oil in the wash and that will help get rid of it quickly.. The Tea tree Oil works well on people in treating ringworm as well and is very effective for Tinea/Athletes foot.

Our family doctor, having nothing that truly worked on ring worm, (this was before the wonder drugs-post WWII) adopted the use of green walnut hull juice applied directly to the skin. (black walnut) That truly worked| Charles Diltz

My sister constantly was getting ring worms on one or another part of her body and in order to get rid of them my Mother would draw a dark circle around it using an ink pen. They would disappear within usually a week after doing this every day as the ink supposedly would smother them. Heidi

When I was a little girl I had a wring work appear on the top of my foot. My mother spent hundreds of dollars on doctor bills and medicines that didn't work. Finally, she remembered an old cure for chigger bites. Fingernail polish! Every day, she would put clear fingernail polish around the outside edge of the wring worm and it got smaller and smaller until it disappeared. The nail polish smothered it. Priscilla Bickley, West Virginia

In high school during Gym. class, the teacher noticed a ringworm on the back of my thigh. The school nurse confirmed this, and I was sent home , and told not to return until it was gone. (contagious?) After almost 2 weeks of some ointment the doctor had prescribed, I still had the darned thing , and it actually seemed a bit larger , and itched like crazy! Finally, my Grandmother told me to take a penny and set it in a small container with WHITE VINEGAR over night. In the morning, I was to take that WET penny and lightly rub it on the ringworm, and repeat it before I went to bed. I was told NOT to cover it, just let it "dry" . ( smelled awful .....) That ringworm was gone in 2 days! Donnajean

My grandmother would tear off a piece of brown paper bag and put it on the blade of an ax and light it on fire, blow off the ashes and take the sweat off the ax where the bag burned and put it on the ring worm, it would go away in 2 days. Colleene

I rub teatree oil on ring worms, everyday till they are gone. Usually only takes about 3-4 days, but I guess it depends on how big the rash is.
