what are the best ways to get rid of ringworm?

Question

besides antifungal creams?

you should NEVER put band aids on ringworm.

Answer 1

go to a doctor and they might give you something else.

however in my experience with ringworms they go away a lot faster if you put a lot of antifungal cream on the ringworm, plus on a bandaid and then put the bandaid over the ringworm- normally takes 2 across each other so it covers completely and doesn't leak the cream everywhere.

I know they suck but if you put that cream on every few hours for about a week it should be gone!

Answer 2

The first link below is for ringworm of the scalp. The second is for ringworm of the body. Both have sections describing treatment.

Answer 3

You can use an anti fungal powder. It is not effective as the creams. Remember that ring worm is a fungus. Not an actual worm. So creams are the best. I have heard of people using bleach to get rid of it but that could be dangerous, Good Luck.

Answer 4

dissolve a gram of K2 MnO4 in a liter of water.t use it twice a day applying over the infected area after bath and wash. be very careful not to apply uninfected skin, use hand gloves. it coul burn you, but it is effective. when you're able to get rid of it then try to keep your body hygiene.
