Suggest Home Remedies For Spreading Ring Worm Infection In The Body
I have ring worms and they are spreadin I have absolutely no money for medical help so I m looking for home remedies that work. I have started drinking ACV w the mother, also using that as a warm compress, I have soaked in a bleach bath, and now Im wondering if Vick vaporub would help, I seem to hear it s good for nail fungus. Can you help me? Thanks, Wormy

Hello,
Ringworm is actually a fungal infection called tinea corporis. It needs to be treated with antifungal medications but you can buy them at a pharmacy without a prescription. Terbinafine (lamisil) is a good choice, but other over the counter antifungals may work as well
