Vicks VapoRub

Hi, I've been dealing with three stubborn ringworms — as persistent as chewing gum stuck under your shoe!

I've tried so many remedies: ozonated olive oil, Lugol's 5%, hydrogen peroxide, apple cider vinegar (ACV)... The last one I used was ACV. It burned like hell and left open sores that oozed continuously.

After doing some research on natural treatments, I decided to try Vicks VapoRub on my ringworms — and guess what? It works! It's such a relief to see them fading day by day. I use this ointment on my skin twice a day.

Unlike ACV, which burns the skin, Vicks gives a warming sensation without the pain.

Vicks VapoRub contains key ingredients like camphor, menthol, turpentine oil, and eucalyptus, which studies have shown to be effective against certain skin infections.

Thanks to Earth Clinic, I initially considered trying Absorbine Jr., but it contains acetone, which I wanted to avoid.

If you're struggling with stubborn ringworms, give Vicks VapoRub a try — it's working wonders for me. I've included some study links below for reference.
