Ringworm is a fungus that can be spread easily from one person to another by direct contact. Public showers are a common place where ringworm can be spread. Take caution and avoid ringworm. If you develop ringworm there are cures to treat it without a prescription.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Use garlic. Garlic is a natural herb that can fight off fungus that grows on your skin. Tape a piece of garlic on the ringworm overnight for a quick cure. This method usually works in 3-5 days and completely cures the ringworm. Some people have sensitive skin and prefer not to tape the garlic on for fear of a garlic burn. You can also mash the garlic and use a cotton swab to rub the garlic oil on 2-3 times a day. This method usually cures the ringworm in 2 weeks.

  2. Step 2

    Rub on black walnut oil. Black walnut oil can be found at a nutrition store. This remedy is used to cure many types of viruses. Apply a few drops of black walnut oil onto the ringworm daily until you notice a change in appearance. In a few days it should start to turn white and go away.

  3. Step 3

    Rub on rubbing alcohol directly onto the ringworm using a cotton swab. The rubbing alcohol will work quickly to dry it up and will stop the spread. Many people have testified that they have used the rubbing alcohol and it has worked better than any prescription they received from a Doctor.
