This guide will give you some steps you can take to get rid of the ringworm fungal infection.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    If you are looking for a natural remedy, try using the juice of coriander leaves. Coriander leaves have been shown to be effective in killing the fungus. Just crush the leaves up in a bown and sprinkle them onto the infected area.

  2. Step 2

    It is important to keep the general area clean and dry while fighting the infection. Head and shoulders shampoo is great for drying out an area and keeping it clean, but soap can work just as well if you are diligent.

  3. Step 3

    Because it is a fungal infection, it may be best to visit a doctor or hospital and get a prescription anti-fungal medication. Just remember, ringworm is a common infection, and is easily treatable. It is more common in children, but nothing to be ashamed of for an adult. Good luck!
