Suggest Home Remedies For Ringworm Infection
Question: What is the best home remedy for ringworm?
Brief Answer:
Home remedies for ringworm.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Ringworm is caused due to fungal infection of tinea species.
You didn’t mention if you are using any anti-fungal agents like ketoconazole, clotrimazole or any of azole containing agents for this ringworm.
Anyway,I will tell you some home remedies as you asked.
For local application, use turmeric powder and Butea seeds and make paste with XXXXXXX warm water and apply it on the affected part for 3- 4times in a day till the infection is cured.
You may also use a clove of crushed garlic or Tea tree oil to apply on ringworm directly which is also one of the best home remedies.
You have to follow some diet regulation for ringworm infection like avoid curd, pickle and other sour food, fermented food, pungent food.
Keep the area clean and dry. Try to avoid itching since personal hygiene is very important in this case.
There are antifungal powders also available which will reduce the itching.
You might transmit the fungal infection by direct touch, so avoid contact of the affected area to other members and households until you see regression of the affected area.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dr XXXXXXX kabra
