Ginger

Each is there own but I will share what finally worked for me. I had a bad case of ringworm. All over my legs and arms and wherever else. Before I realized what it was it had spread quite a bit and nothing was working to get rid of it. I tried this cream, that cream... I even tried bleach, nail polish and I swear I almost considered burning it off one day. Long story short I ended up juicing some ginger and mixing in a little vinegar. I would apply this directly to the ringworm and let it dry up. Then I applied the shea butter mixture I made. (Shea butter, sea salt, tea tree oil) The ginger and vinegar really started nuetralizing the fungus and the shea butter mixture kept it clean and hydrated. Plus when it itched really bad I could rub the very course shea butter mixture on it and it would help a lot. The only helpful product I found was the naturasil ringworm stuff. I think if I hadn't let it go for so long this product may have worked completely but it didn't fully treat what I was dealing with. Just thought I would pass this along in case someone else is as desperate as I was for something that will help.

My son had been suffering from ringworm for about a month and it seemed anything that we tried didn't make a dent. With him being right in the middle of football season we were afraid it might cost him a good part of the season. After doctor visits and prescriptions not working we were losing hope. I then stumbled over this website talking about Absorbine Jr. curing ringworm. After reading other testimonials I thought it worth a try. Let me tell you it is amazing! Why doctors don't recommend this is beyond me. In about a weeks time he is a thousand times better. Be warned it does burn like a mother when it is applied but it works! Don't waste time with other treatments, this is it!
Coconut Oil

I cured a nasty case of ringworm with unrefined raw organic coconut oil. I first had tried tea tree oil, straight, a few times a day. Looked like this might work but it then irritated the skin so bad it ended up spreading it. I also had tried Grapefruit seed extract and this made it itch more. I was getting a bit desperate and I heard about coconut oil somewhere else on the web. I tried it and within just a few days the improvement was significant and it got better and better and then was gone!! I keep applying coconut oil to the area for another month to make sure it would not come back. I also took oil of oregano internally to help my basic body condition. After all the irritation from the tea tree oil and grapefruit seed extract the coconut oil was so soothing and it worked so well that I though I would share this. I am surprised there are no other reports on this website for this cure!!
Misdiagnosing Ringworm
Posted by Muttmom (Emery, Sd, Usecounchm) on 09/13/2012
A bug bites started to get a ring of pustules around it so we started treating it as ringworm with TTO, ACV, and astringents. Absorbine turned the circle black and it sloughed off but continued to grow on the outer edge. At 1 1/2 inches we put on sliced garlic for 20 min. Which burned it. When the scab came off there was good skin unerneath. Still grew so we tried aloe and then slapped on and covered it with plastic. The next day all lumps were gone and there was a purplish flat 2" scar. Thought I had it licked. Then another circle started above the scar. (beloe knee). We went to a Derm. BIG MISTAKE!! She diagnosed impetigo over ringworm. Ignored all my symptoms and refused to do a scraping. Kept questioning her diagnosis. She said Bagbalm just sooths, doesn't cure anything. For 2 months we used the RXs mupirocin, (still refused scraping for fungus) Nystatin, Ciclopirox, and Lotramin Ultra. It got large red lumpy, oozy and crusty. Next DR insisted on biopsy. This showed no fungus or bacteria- suggested nummular (discoid) eczema. We put vaseline around the biopsy holes and all the crud sloughed off so we put it on the whole messed and the next day it was a flat purple scar like when we used Bagbalm 4 months ago. Drs were totally against home remedies and said info on the internet is dangerous. They never said to use emollients , just a steroid rx. So I treated it myself with vaseline. So if anti fungals do not work for you try an emollient because Ringworm looks like discoid eczema. Good luck. Hope I can save people from my 8 mo. Ordeal and $800 bills. Dr steered me in the opposite direction from what my gut felt. His last comment was Bagbalm is not a magic cure and walked out ( Dr have such an ego)

Amazingly, Absorbine Jr. Worked for the itch at night so I could sleep. It's the acetone in the product that burns. Not sure if it kills enough topically of the fungus. The other ingredients may help as well.
I started a threefold attack on the ringworm to make sure. (1) Morning - apply Oregano oil with Tea tree oil. This will sting and cause discomfort. When the discomfort subsides... (2) Noon - apply liquid clorox bleach to the affected areas. Also will burn. (3) Before bed - apply Absorbine Jr. Liberally to affected areas. Burns for a few, but itch goes away.
When you notice affected areas healing or looking better apply Castor oil with Q-tip.
Make sure you wash all undergarments in hot water with clorox bleach. Throw away old ones.
Do the same treatment for your feet and toes. I think this is where ringworm spread from in my case.

I have had ringworm for over six months, I have tried glycolic acid lotion, pine tar soap, Retin A cream, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, Miconozole Nitrate, tea tree oil, pimple cream with salicylic acid, calamine lotion, cortisone cream. All of these either didn't work or made it more inflamed and itchier. Then I tried Absorbine Jr. Hallelujah, it has done more in 12 hours to dried it up and take the redness away than anything I have tried. If you have ringworm, go to a drugstore immediately and buy this. It is literally a miracle cure. I wish I had known about Absorbine Jr. earlier. Thank you Earth Clinic.

I can relate to all the people in this thread that give God the praise for leading them to this information. Over the last few weeks, what I thought was a bad pimple on my front torso quickly developed into the scaly, round rash enclosed in an inflammed, raised doughnut-shape, typical of ringworm. However, there are other symptoms as well, and if anyone has experienced this or knows anything about it, please respond! Around the lesion, all over my torso and arms I have very, very tiny bumps, very hard to see except under certain lighting or in a magnified mirror. But when I run my hands over these areas, it feels like brail! They are very present. There is also very mild, low level itching all over my body. Is this typical with ringworm, or is this a sign of something else? I will be seeing a dermatologist this week, but I wanted to ask in the forum here because there is no guarantee that the doctor won't mis-diagnose me, and if anyone has had a similar experience, I want to hear from you!
Yesterday I went and bought a bottle of Absorbine, Jr. from CVS. I disinfected the lesion with HO, then held a sterile cotton ball with the solution to the sore until the pain and tingling stopped. It burned a lot more than the HO, very strongly, but I was prepared for the pain and that helped to endure it. It stopped the itching and felt very soothed after that. The doughnut-ring began scabbing over, the center darkened to a dark yellowish-brown color (my complexion is naturally tan).
My second application of the Absorbine, Jr. Didn't go as well, because I felt the sore was itchier AFTER I applied it than before. After an hour or so I followed up with white vinegar instead - this REALLY helped stop the itching, and I felt it working more deeply under the skin. The lesion has not itched me since that white vinegar application yesterday, but I still have the "itchies" here and there, and the tiny brail-like bumps. (I chose white vinegar because it made sense to me - in the past I've sprayed vinegar on the bathroom tiles to discourage mold, as it is a mold-inhibitor.)
I will be alternating the Absorbine, Jr. (max 4x per day) with the white vinegar (as often as desired) after disinfecting with either HO or rubbing alcohol. I will also be washing EVERYTHING in the laundry (clothes, sheets, pillows, carpets, cloth shower curtain) with detergent, oxygen bleach and tea-tree oil, spraying alcohol on things that can't be washed, (exercise equipment, etc. ) and treating my mattress. I've set up my sinks with dispenser soap tea tree oil and bottles of alcohol, and using paper towels to dry hands. Hair is blow-dried and tied up, and I am using combs to scratch my scalp if itchy - I don't want this to spread to scalp as I read that hair can break off. If I'm missing anything, please let me know!

I returned from Mexico with what I think is a bad case of ringworm. I tried using hydracortisone cream as the pharmacist told me my marks were insect bites. A day later there were more spots and the cortisone did nothing for the itch. I went to 3 other pharmacy's & no one could tell me what the marks were or how to treat them, I sent a photo to a friend who thought it was ringworm. I went back to the pharmacy and they gave clotrimazole. I used this for one day and saw the post on Absorine Jr. I have used nearly a entire bottle today after applying it four times as I have so many spots. All the original spots seem to be drying up and not looking as red which is great. I am concerned though that I seem to be having new lesions coming up every time I went to apply another round of Absorbine today. Can anyone please tell me if they had the same thing happen. Why am I still getting new outbreaks. I have washed all clothing, bedding and towels today in clorox and have been using plastic gloves to apply Absorbine an paper towel to dry my hands after washing them. Thanks

I never really post on forums but earthclinic has saved me a lot. Absorbine jr does work, it takes away the intense itching. I had ringworm before on my face. It lasted 6 months and it was scaley, patchy and spreading like fire. This time it had tiny little rings with the same symptoms. I had put some antiseptic on it and it literally gave me a chemical burn on my face. This scabbed over but I was itching underneath and could feel the fungus growing intensely. Due to my scab, I had no other choice but to try to swab some black walnut tincture over it and then applied new skin liquid bandaid. LIFE SAVER, the bandaid helped the fungus from spreading and stopped the itch. I applied this for 3 days after the bandaid peeled off in some areas, it was itching again, the fungus was mad. No creams or medications helped so I was desperate, I had been adding black walnut Hull capsules to heal internally as well. Where the bandaid peeled off, I applied asborbine jr. It helps a lot but after an hour it comes right back and itches.
Finally I just threw some comet or ajax after I swiped with the absorbine jr where it was still moist. This kept the comet ajax on, and believe it or not, I have not had itching for over 5 hrs. I feel that its actually healing. I know comet ajax is dangerous but after months of prior ringworm, I was not going to go through half a year couped in my house so I don't spread it to others. The absorbine jr and ajax comet has been the best remedy for me as it seems to kill the fungus immediately. I will update in a few days. Also remember, I had scabs over the ringworm making this all very difficult to treat!

After dealing with recurring ringworm for 15 years, it came back with a vengeance this past week. Holy cow, it was spreading like crazy from behind one ear, across the back of my neck, onto my scalp, and to the other ear. I was mortified - I looked like a leper! None of my old standbys were working (Selsun Blue, Lamisil, and various other OTC antifungals) and it was just spreading more and more. So thanks to this site, I discovered Absorbine and although it hurts like hell, it's working! I applied it 5 times yesterday and this morning ALL the areas are dried up and swabbing over. I've applied it 4 more tomes today and I can tell its healing. Absorbine is AMAZING! Hopefully it doesn't come back but if it does, I have my Absorbine arsenal.

Can you use this Absorbine liquid on the scalp???
I contracted a sudden/first time problem with scalp infections which I cannot tame after a year of seemingly trying everything; then suddenly got a ringworm on my upper arm (which I treated successfully in 3 weeks using Blue Goo, nail fungus treatment from the dollar store $3.99). Now I am wondering if the two are related, so I'm looking here for more treatments to try! (I've tried all the ones on the scalp page so now I'm feeling more desperate, lol).

Anyway, I have a damn rash on my leg and have tried everything... My brother had to use a super steroid to resolve the issue.... I have started using absorbine jr today.. It does actually looks better already... I will update in a few days. I did use a steroid cream prescribed from my doctor.... I got the rash 25% better but not gone. PS you can youtube it people have been using this stuff as mosquito repellent.. I think its the menthol... I would put it on my clothes but menthol on your skin in the summer may be a bit much.

I promised I would do this if this site helped and it did. I was desperate because I had ringworm on my inner thigh that soon encroached on to my testicles, so I used a few methods from this site. Try and see what works for you, but this is what worked for me. 1) Shower (if in a less aggressive area forearm for instantce maybe you just wash your arm off in the tub or sink. 2) ACV(apple cider vinegar) - apply with cotton ball and rub in a circular motion until it bleeds. Do this for the first 1-3 days
3) Absortine Jr - apply with cotton ball (don't rub just dab and hold until the pain sensation is totally gone or until you reach your threshold)
4) Tea Tree Oil - apply with q-tip (don't rub just dab the area until you see the shine/wet look)
5) Gold Bond Triple Action Relief(extra strength) - apply after air or blow dry
Tips
-Shower or wash area if possible before every treatment. (if I couldn't shower I would use a baby wipe with a dash of ACV on it) four times a day. -Repeat all steps for first 1-3 days when your ready to discontinue ACV dose do so, but continue all other steps. Other Key Points
-You will feel discomfort
-This won't be fun
-The sooner you attack the easier it will be to kill this fungal rash
-Your skin will be discolored (dark/grey/black)
-Your skin will peel
-When healed be sure to moisturize the skin because if not it will be itchy. -KEEP EVERYTHING CLEAN & be honest with the people you live with to be careful you don't want to pass this on. I hope this helps someone else. Peace, Love, & Knowledge,

Reptile Light

My son has had recurring ringworm in a couple spots (thigh and forearm). It always seems to flare up in the fall and get better when he can get sun on it (which is nearly impossible in a Michigan winter). We decided to try a reptile light bulb available at a pet store (it has UVA and heat). We put the bulb in a small lamp fixture and he held his arm above it for 10-15 minutes a day and it worked like a charm. He was also using the Absorbine for the week or so prior to this, and that helped somewhat, but the reptile light really made a difference. The skin was clear after 5 or 6 days.
Bar Soap
Posted by Laurie (Daejeon, South Korea) on 01/24/2012
I got ringworm from my cat, and I've gone through at least 2-3 cycles of infection now over a period of 2 months. I tried anti-fungal creams. Since it's in Korean and my doctor has limited English, I wasn't sure what the active ingredients were. But I tried 2-3 different types of creams and none helped, one even made it much worse. I even desperately tried bleach... Very bad idea. Wounds festered. I tried apple cider vinegar-much the same as the bleach.
What works: Use bar soap, lather well so that a thick white foam appears over all ringworm spots, let air dry for about 10-20 minutes, gently rinse. Repeat at least 2x/day. I'm doing this plus taking anti-fungal pills once a week. I've ordered Absorbine Jr. at the recommendation of this site. I intend to apply that as well, but it is not available in Korea and I've had to order it online.

The new Formula (Absorbine Plus Jr) does not say on the label it is meant to treat fungal infections such as jock itch or athletes foot. It does say for arthritis in the list. My local research tells me that the original formula is only online and the new formula PLUS is in all the stores. The original formula has all the same ingredients except a lower Menthol 1.27% vs 4% and the original has absinthium oil (Wormwood) as a main ingredient which the Plus formula has taken out.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Tea Tree Oil

I feel so lucky to have found this website! I had a nasty patch of ringworm that was getting out of control since I thought it was some sort of weird bug bite and was doing nothing for it except worrying. After a month of it getting larger and itchier, my friend finally diagnosed it as ringworm and found this website for me. What a Godsend! I immediately soaked a folded paper towel with Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)and layed it on the area. There was an immediate reaction and I could tell it was killing the ringworm fungus. The itching was gone almost instantaneously. I repeatedly kept the paper towel wet with ACV for a couple hours, then I lightly wet a large bandage with Tea Tree Oil, placed it on the sore and went to bed. I did the same thing the next night, only that time it really stung because the patch was all opened up and blister-y. Tea Tree bandage again, which also hurts. But those two treatments completely turned it around and its almost all healed less than a week later!! I've also been dabbing tea tree on it as it's healing, and I've been drinking little shots (1/2 oz.)of the ACV twice a day as well. All in all, this was an amazingly effective treatment and a real no-brainer (also completely natural and non-toxic!). I hope this info may help someone else. ACV goes to work immedietly and seems to kill ringworm on contact!!!
Fresh Pecan Hulls
Posted by Sabrina (Houston, Tx) on 02/07/2010
★★★★★
In November of 2009, my 6 year old daughter had a fingertip sized ringworm just next to her eye. Due to the delicate area the best choice for a remedy was the black walnut hull. But we had no walnut trees nearby, only pecans. I reasoned that since the pecan was a genus of the walnut family, it stood a great chance of success. I went outside and grabbed a pecan off the tree.
The outer green part surrounding the pecan in its shell is what is used. Wearing gloves (the tannin in the hull stains a lovely shade of brown), I cut a 1/4 inch piece. With my daughter laying down, unaware of the impending horror, I commenced. I squeezed the hull until the liquid appeared. I rubbed the liquid directly onto the ringworm and used tissue to mop any excess. After about 30 seconds my daughter began to cry out. The process burned terribly. I explained that the burning sensation most likely meant that we were killing the fungus, so at least the pain would be productive. I spent 20 minutes blowing on the area and my poor daughter went to sleep quite upset. However...
The next morning, the ringworm area had begun to scab. It was not pretty to look at. That night my daughter was afraid to let me touch her. I had to wait until she was asleep to apply the pecan hull. She awoke during the end of the process (quite angry and annoyed at my tactic). The next day the scab was huge and crusty. I had not read anywhere about the appearance after the application and I hoped that it would slough off quickly. The 4th night (taking a forced break on the 3rd night) I reasoned with my daughter that we would apply more pecan hull liquid and it would only sting if there was still live fungus under the scab, otherwise it should be painless. She weighed it out and realized that she wanted the thing totally gone, so we proceeded. This time, no sting and it lightly stained the skin surrounding the scab. That was it.
The scab lasted about 4 weeks. It was ugly and thick and showed no sign of leaving. We would cover it with a bandage coated with cornstarch to keep the adhesive from pulling on the sensitive skin near the eye. Finally the scab began to decrease. After about a month the scab totally came off, but a red scar remained. Now after 6 weeks, the scar has faded to a barely visible mark and I feel confident that the cure worked.

Hello Renee from Ray City Georgia, a most effective treatment for ring worms is colorless iodine, or bleach iodine, same stuff, I had rings worms and a dear friend told me about it, it is getting hard to find in drug stores but easily gotten on the net. This iodine will do short work of a long standing problem, I have done two applications at 12 hours intervals and that was done.

I left the paste on for about 10 min (please be careful with clothing, the paste will stain) washed it off and then applied castor oil on it. 2 days later the old one is gone just scar left and the new one is slightly visible but not itching. Am going to continue till all gone.

I have had reoccuring problems with ringworm for about 28 years, when I contracted it overseas in the military. For anyone who has ever had problems with ringworm, you know how irrating the itching and how fast the fungus can spread on your skin where areas stay warm and moist.
After using various antifungal creams off and on for many years, the ringworm would come back, and in the summer time, it would come back with a vengance.
Thank God I happened to find this website that suggested using Absorbine Jr. to address the spreading skin infection.
For the last week, I had a strong outbreak of ringworm in my groin area, and I guess I scratched it, and it got infected and started creating a hard mass under teh skin that was very painful and for obvious reasons, concerned me greatly. After reading several of your wonderful comments of using Absorbine Jr. to stop the ringworm spread, I went to my local CVS store and bought a bottle of the regular liquid with the sponge applicator on top.
I was amazed after applying the liquid on the affected areas, that the itch immediately went away, and within a couple of hours, I could actually see the angry red areas start to return back to the normal skin color.
The Absorbine Jr. did burn a bit on several areas that were pretty raw, but after fanning the area with a newspaper, the burning went away, as did the constant itching that I have had to endure for all these years.
The infected painful mass that was brewing under the skin also was smaller and the skin starting to return to normal color the next morning when I woke up, so with regular applications of this wonderful Absorbine Jr., I think I finally have located a product that will help me be more comfortable in the future. I am grateful for all the wonderful people who shared their experiences because as I type this sitting in my recliner at home, for the first time in about 28 years, I am not itching.

My "rash" started out on my left foot in 2003 after spending time in a dorm setting. Later, I got the same looking rash underneath my watch band. I have been to numerous doctors for this "rash". One told me it was because of my watch band & sweating so I quit wearing the watch for a long time, but it didn't clear up any. I have tried Tinactin & numerous other athlete's foot products because I was told the "rash" on my foot was athlete's foot. It was weird because the rash has been just on the left side of my body, until recently, when it has migrated to my groin area. I was told it was eczema & given several different types of medications & tried many home remedy type treatments, without success. Other doctors have told me it is psoriasis...and have treated it as such. All the while, the "rash" has gotten significantly worse, driving me into seclusion & getting me thrown out of physical therapy today because the therapist insisted it was RINGWORM! Well, I had seen this site a few days ago & sent my wife to get some Absorbine Junior ...this stuff burns like wild fire & so far, I haven't seen much, if any, difference since starting it (AJ) 3 days ago & having used all but about a 1/2 oz of a 4 oz bottle in those 3 days! Today, the doctor finally said, "yes, I believe it IS ringworm" & he gave me yet another medication (oral) called Ketoconazole 200mg tabs. He said they were pretty wicked & should take care of the ringworm once & for all. I have to go tomorrow to get a blood test to check my liver function so he can monitor my liver function during treatment.
I was so excited to hear about everyone using the AJ but so disappointed that it hasn't worked for me!
