Ringworm can infect the groin ("jock itch"), the feet (athlete's foot) and the scalp. It is easier to prevent the spread of ringworm than it is to treat it. Good hygiene may help keep ringworm from infecting you or your family.

on 4/17/2007 We eradicated ringworm on the skin in 2 weeks by rubbing Clorox bleach on it, washing it off then applying Lamisil cream every night. I was told a little bleach in water for a foot soak gets rid of Athlete's Foot as well.

on 11/22/2005 I was told iodine spread over the affected area helps halt the continued spread of this fungus. Also Nizoral or Lamisil is a good shampoo and for African-Amer. hair, Sulfur 8 medicated hair pomade encourages regrowth.

on 7/11/2006 Apart from good hygiene and applying a good quality anti-fungal cream daily, taking garlic capsules in any form is a good safe alternative for adults and children 2 years and over. Garlic has natural anti fungal and anti parasitic qualities.This will stop the spreading of the ringworm further and will help stop reinfection. Also, anti fungal/anti bacterial washing rinses can be added to washing machine in the softener dispenser.
Ringworm can take a long time to treat and any methods used should be used for a minimum of a month to effectively eradicate them.
