Getting rid of itchy pesky ringworm can be quite difficult!! Believe me I should know........

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Iodine
  • Patience
  1. Step 1

    Getting rid of ringworm can be a GREAT challenge!! Recently I had over 100 of them nasty and itchy things and tried everything. First of all DO NOT SCRATCH THEM.......they WILL spread over the rest of your body.

  2. Step 2

    I begin testing them by applying a topical ointment that festered them pretty badly. I think that actually assisted them in an allergic reaction. Then my mother in law told me that many years ago the elders used the juice from a fig to treat ringworm. Needless to say my mother in law has a fig tree in her back yard. So I took it upon myself to try it. And guess what??? IT WORKED!!! It burned liked heck but still worked!! It will get rid of your ringworm without leaving a scar.

  3. Step 3

    Iodine has also been a know treatment for ringworm and I've tried that before, and it burned awfully bad and didn't do anything for them.
    Hope this helps a bit. I know ringworm can be quite aggravating.

Tips & Warnings
  • The fig juice will burn and will also cause the ringworm to itch much worse, but I promise this is the best!! And just a reminder, DO NOT SCRATCH!!
