What treatment for ringworm spots all over the body

Posted By Sema1102 (Elmira, Ny) on 04/29/2011

I am going crazy!! I caught ringworm from my dog. It has spread all over my body. I didn't know what it was at first. I must have over 100 spots. I don't know what to do. I can't treat each spot individually they are all over my back and stomach. I just started Candida clear. I have tried acv, tea tree oil and the creams dr's give. I am going out of my mind. Any help would be appreciated!

When my son had ringworm we tried everything including a prescription cream. Nothing worked until I used black walnut tincture. I applied it 3 times a day after washing and drying the area. Used regular gold Dial soap for washing. It had completely cleared in less than a week. It does stain skin but is well worth the little brown ting that your skin gets from it.

Sema, It really sounds like Pityriasis Rosacea. There is plenty of information (and pictures) on the internet. I had it last year and also thought it was ringworm for the first few weeks. It was just as described on different web sites and lasted as stated 14-16 weeks. I tried EVERYTHING. Nothing phased it and some things aggravated it. All I could do is stay clean, cool, dry and wait it out. I still have very light bruise colored spots on my legs where it healed but my upper torso is spotless. Good luck! It to will pass.

Have you tried consuming shredded desiccated coconut? It's a remedy for internal parasites. Black Walnut Hull extract is too. I've used both to keep the parasites away.

What about straight Neem Oil? Smells bad, but may work. Wishing you the very best of luck. Also try solution with boric acid, or borax.
