Apple Cider Vinegar/Coconut oil for ringworm:

It's the only thing that made the fungus tingle, but it didn't cure it.

Drinking 2 table spoons of ACV with honey in a cup of water made the fungus look much drier.

Coconut oil rubbed directly into it made it seem less apparent, it also burnt more than any other thing that I have ever applied to it.

Also, I mixed coconut oil with borax (1:1 ratio with solidified coconut oil), the results were good but only temporary.

I have been using apple cider vinegar to treat ringworm on my leg. I tried lamisil, but it just seemed to make the area hot and more irritated. In addition I have used coconut oil. I apply the apple cider vinegar twice a day with a cotton swab...almost 4 ounces a day on an area about 4"x4". I apply coconut oil once a day in the evening to the area. I keep the area of my leg covered when out in the sun and working in the heat of the day. It is clearing up much more quickly than using the over the counter remedy.
