Default Ringworm cure

I've found the best cure for ringworm, far better than any prescription medications, is tea-tree oil. It's a natural anti-fungicide and clears up the infection in less time ANDit's less expensive. We always keep a bottle handy in the bathroom as it's useful for a variety of ailments. A few drops tossed in the bath is also good for recurring thrush. It's pretty much a first aid kit in a bottle.

Default Buying tea-tree oil

You should be able to buy it from a health food shop. It comes from an Australian native plant and is exported worldwide. Actaully the plant i probably grown elsewhere now for medicinal purposes, but I'd try a health food shop first, or perhaps a pharmacist. You don;t need a doctor's prescription.

Ringworm is a contagious fungus infection that can affect the scalp, the body, the feet (athlete's foot), or the nails.
  • People can get Ringworm from: 1) direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or pet, 2) indirect contact with an object or surface that an infected person or pet has touched, or 3) rarely, by contact with soil.
  • Ringworm can be treated with fungus-killing medicine.
  • To prevent Ringworm, 1) make sure all infected persons and pets get appropriate treatment, 2) avoid contact with infected persons and pets, 3) do not share personal items, and 4) keep common-use areas clean.
