Here are the home remedies for those who are interested in it.
I have tried all the below home remedies.
*Garlic
* Honey and Cinnamon paste
*White vinegar* Bleach
* Chlorine
* Hydrogen peroxide
* Tooth paste
* Apple Cider Vinegar
* Clotrimazole
* Micanazole
* betamethasone diproportionate
* betadine(iodine)
* tolnaftate
But they all dnt help me out in my case.I got ringworm repeatedly and for the second time it lasted for up to 5 months.Believe it or not.When I used garlic ,vinegar or bleach it kills the fungus,but it also breaks up the skin being harsh on the skin.It lead to further bacterial infection.
When I used apple cider vinegar,I got the same issue because of the acid nature in the vinegar and my skin was very sensitive too.
I applied betamethasone which just reduced the inflammation but dnt kill the fungus.I then applied clotrimazole for 3 months,but of no use.
At last I tried Tea Tree oil at full strength along with neem oil to reduce the itchiness.It helped me really.My stubborn ringworm begin to vanish and I got clear of it within a week.But I continued to apply even a week after that.
How to apply Tea tree oil
* You can apply tea tree oil at full strength.
* Buy the 100% pure tea tree oil and pure neem oil.
* These are available in stores like 'Whole Foods' and 'Wegmans'.
* Apply few drops of tea tree oil on a cotton ball.
* Dab it on the rashses.
* After a few seconds,apply neem oil in the same way.
* Remember do not reuse the cotton ball or sponge.
* Once used,discard it away.
* Apply this thrice a day for upto one week even after the rash has vanished.
* For those with sensitive skin,mix both oils together and you can apply it.
* By this way it reduces the itchiness.
* After sometime you can also apply coconut oil to make the skin more soft and supple.
* If you want you can also dilute the tea tree oil by mixing it with warm water.
* For 3 drops of tea tree oil mix 10 drops of warm water.
* And remember to wash all your belongings everyday.Refer our Prevention Steps here.
Tips and Caution:
* When you apply tea tree oil for about three days,then you feel the skin to be more dry and flaky.
Do not worry.Thats how it works.By third day,apply a good mild scrub and scrub with it for 1 minute and wash to remove all those flaky dead cells.
* Then you can apply either neem oil or the same tea tree oil and continue this for atleast 2 days even after the rashes are gone.
* Be careful when applying tea tree oil,do not ingest it.Its harmful when swallowed.Keep it away from children.
