I read somewhere about using vinegar. Does it make any difference what kind of vinegar is used?

anti fungal cream or hydrocortisone cream will work. both can be purchsed at a drug store or wal mart. I have not heard anything about vinegar, but if you use it i am going to say get white vinegar because it is the purest form and wont irritate skin so much.

Fast Ringworm Cure?

Topical antifungal drugs containing miconazole and clotrimazole, available by prescription or over the counter, are used to clear up the infection. A folk remedy for ringworm is a 1:1 solution of cider vinegar and water. Another alternative is 2 drops tea tree oil mixed with an ounce of water. In cats and cattle, sulfurated lime rinses are often used to treat ringworm. Enilconazole, as a rinse, is an effective ringworm treatment available in many countries for treating animals. Fungal infections may take a while to clear up.
Terbinafine is highly effective for Tinea corporis. It treats itching, burning, cracking, and scaling that accompany this condition. It cures most ringworm except the types affecting the nails or scalp, which are very difficult to treat.
Griseofulvin is a traditional drug used to treat ringworm in both animals and man. It can be very effective, but may produce side effects. :-)~

Vinegar is not very effective on Ringworm. I assume you are talking about the ringworm that causes a dry/scaley itchy patch of skin right? If so, my favorite home remedy is either Tea Tree oil, or any kind of "athletes foot" cream (do NOT use the spray kind) or womens yeast infection medication, as that kind of ringworm is a fungus.

Our old family easy recipe is get a sheets of notebook paper,crumble them up, place them on a plate that can take the heat of burning them down to ashes, push away the ashes and the yellow/brownish/orange goo that is left on the plate put on the ringworm and keep doing it until its gone.
