First, what is Ringworm? Ringworm is a fungal condition which affects the skin and produces a rash. Ringworm is infectious. It begins when the fungus Tinea grows on the skin. It may be transmitted by people, animals, or even exposure to damp surfaces. Ringworm is not caught by worms. It is a rash in circular form.
What are the symptoms of Ringworm? First, you'll need to identify if the rash is Ringworm. Check the appearance: Is it itchy, scaly, raised; blistering or oozing; or red and circular? Is the area of the skin raised and defined from the rest of the skin? Ringworm in the nails may be cracked and thicker or have discolored nail beds. If it doesn't go away it may be a different condition or lack of treatment. How is it cured? Is there a home remedy?
The Tinea fungus can apply to all the following conditions: Tinea Capitis, or scalp ringworm, which appears as small sores on the scalp. Tinea Corporosis, the ring-like condition that appears anywhere on the skin. Tinea Cruris, jock itch, is primarily around the groin and buttocks area. Tinea Pedis, athlete’s foot, caused by exposure of the feet to damp areas.
To lessen the healing time be sure to avoid any damp areas. Improper cleaning and hygiene can be a cause of why it won't go away. Reoccurrence can occur by using infected items which haven't been decontaminated A fungus can live on items for a long time. Clear it overnight on face, arm, leg, and neck.
Failure to treat the ringworm can also result in the condition not going away. One area may be receiving treatment while the other area is not. Take the broadest possible form of medication if you repeatedly contract it. See a doctor if the over-the-counter (OTC) medication is not working. The doctor will prescribe the best course of medication, such as: Topical: antifungal lotions, creams, gels, sprays. Which can be purchase OTC. Or stronger antifungal cream, such as: Terbinafine, Clotrimazole, or Miconazole. In extreme cases prescribed topical medication may not be enough.
