Hi Mickey,
The exudate from the green hull on the black walnuts worked on the kerion (ringworm advanced to pus pockets and most hair gone from area)on my son's scalp years ago. This is the wrong time of year to gather walnuts with green hulls, but you should be able to find tincture of black walnuts at health food store.
I see several instances of people saying Absorbine Jr. cured their ringworm and this should also be safe to use on the scalp.Replied by Tara (Clarkston, Washington) on 06/03/2009
I get ringworm when I garden sometimes, not sure why. I came across a folk remedy where you soak a few pennies in vinegar and then after about an hour or so apply the penny to the ring worm.This thankfully worked for me since I was doing volunteer work at my daughters school and you cannot do that when you have ringworm. Not sure if it was just the vinegar, or the combo of copper and vinegar. Good luck with your son, and I hope this can work for you too. Maybe even try a washcloth soaked in vinegar and place on his head.
