PS change pillow case every night. Do not share combs or shampoo, brush during the process. Do not want to contaminate others. It's a lot to do but it is so worth it cuz ringworm in the scalp is hard to get rid of... Good luck!

Hello there,,, this is a very old post, but I m hopeful that you'll get notified,,, we ve been battling my son's scalp ringworm for the past 2 months nearly, I was wondering, are those sulfur pellets you re talking about homeopathic ones by any chance??they would taste like sugar(as opposed to sulfur per se)...another question, there is a yellowish build up on the ringworm, not quite like a normal scab(although hard, when it s dry and more mushy after oiling or washing it, but still), and something tells me it should be removed every now and then..?the skin is very sensitive underneath it but I can t imagine it being able to heal with that weird layer over it, what with the oils and iodine we re putting on it not eally being able to penetrate through it(i imagine)..any thoughts on that?
I'm really hoping you'll read this, it's hard to get hold of people who've been through the same....thanks in advance!!!

ZSUZSI,,,,,,,,, get a bottle of tincture of Walnut and apply it 3 times a day and your son will be healed. Here in East Tn we have bookoo Walnut trees and you just cut the green nuts until they bleed and apply that to the ring worm and the problem is solved. The Lord said he will provide and he does.... if you pay attention. Hulda Clarke used this to kill internal parasites and her formula is still used all over the world. Is that amazin or what?
My Tractor Driver says that it took Oregano and DMSO to kill the ring worm on her ankle. My bad. Try hers and then mine.

Dear Zsuzsi,
Your son's severe case of ringworm sounds very much like one that herbalist John Christopher wrote about once. He treated it with black walnut tincture.
I hope he heals up very soon!

Hi Robert, thanks so much, I will definitely try and get some walnut tincture..nature does provide,, I know...it's just hard to know which direction to go,, lots of trials and errors can really dishearten one..
Dear Mama,, thank you, it means a lot, I'm off to read this,,, looks like walnut oil is the way to go...please God.

Checking back to report on my son's (pretty bad) scalp ringworm completely cured with coal tar shampoo and homeopathic sulphur. Ditching griseofulvin (we didn't even open the bottle), we started using nizoral shampoo on week 1, then 2-3 times a week, then went on using Castile soap for a bit before ordering Artnaturals medicated coal tar shampoo(it s a mild one), which completely got rid of the flaking immediately, and after a while I didn't even use it every day.---so far about washing his hair.other than that, topically, even before the official diagnosis, we applied tea tree oil 2-3 times a day, which didn't do anything.then we started our with ACV, did it for a couple of weeks, didn't seem to help.(I made him drink it though, diluted with with water and some maple syrup---btw, we weren't able to completely eliminate sugar from his diet, but he cured regardless,, as a side note).so, quitting ACV, we moved onto neem oil, mixed with lavender, and cinnamon oils (the latter is supposedly super powerful against fungus), then tried iodine, too(the yellow one), but ditched those, too, because the kid was distressed enough, and he constantly looked greasy haired, or yellow stained from those (btw skin fungus was successfully treated with iodine here, no problems),, so we moved onto using black walnut tincture, recommended to me by two helpful members here, which I believe helped a bit(not the brown colored liquid, but the bright green one), but the improvement was really slow and expensive (ordering the good quality from England, you can't get it here in Ireland), so after using up nearly two bottles I ended up buying the homeopathic Sulfur 30c for 8 euros, and within just a week of casually popping 2-3 tablets a day into his mouth the child's hair started to grow in a really spectacular way.i knew about it because another mom here was struggling with her daughter's scalp ringworm for 2 years after curing it with just the coal tar shampoo and the sulfur.our struggle was a mere 4 month one.we also used up a small bottle of herbal tincture that our local herbalist made up for us, to help clean my son's lymphatic system and in particular against fungus (internally), so I don t know, it may have contributed to the overall success, but like I said, the dramatic improvement took place when we started out with the homeopathic medicine.good luck to you all, and thanks for all your help!Replied By Bozana (Croatia) on 04/11/2018
Dear Zsuzsi, I found your post here, as well as other mom's post. I'm happy for you both that your kids got cured. You may think you know what they were going through, but you don't. Unfortunately I do. I don't have to repeat because you can guess that I've used all home remedies that you've used and 3 different types of antifungal meds, but nothing helps with my case of ringworm of the scalp. It is caused by Microsporum canis and very, very contagious. I'm cleaning my house, disinfecting and washing my clothes and myself day and night, still I am constantly losing battle against ringworm. I recently started using coal tar shampoo and sulphur 30 c, and it helped in the beginning but suddenly stopped helping. I would like to know from you how long did it take for your son to clear the fungus, from the time he started the pellets. I'm on my seventh day and yesterday I had a terrible attack which lasts today. My hair is not falling out any more since I'm using black seed oil which made it thicker and healthier and it almost grew back totally. But, the terrible itch is still there, so I know that I'm not healing yet. In general, I would like some more details about the course of treatment with the coal tar shampoo and the sulphur pellets, I.e. how long, how much, when did he stop complaining about the itch, did you use anything else, some oil, etc. I want to mention that I am a woman of 60 and not a young person.
Thank you and stay happy with your son.

Hi Bozana,
I can't help thinking that you say a treatment was working, then stopped, I presume you mean a worsening of symptoms which is disappointing when improvement had started to be seen. But often when fungus/bacteria/virus is attacked, it will fight back against this treatment and you will often have a resurgence of symptoms, and you usually need to simply keep up what you are doing. Perhaps by adding more to your arsenal but do not give up the treatment. I noticed you said the black seed oil gave you some improvement when applied topically, why not get the seeds, crush them and ingest, or soak overnight and drink the water. Remember, this is an item you have said helped somewhat, my thinking would be, take it to the next level. Continue to deprive your fungus of what it needs, starve it! (Eliminate your diet of sugar, and complex sugars from grains, eg corn and wheat) and successfully make your body inhospitable to the invader. You can ingest borax (antifungal) research for yourself I take 1/4 tsp in litre of filtered water, soak your body and scalp in the bath with 2 cups of borax added, or use much less by just making a paste and applying that. Turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, Organo, sage, rosemary, you can drink these as teas, several times a day, they are easily obtainable, or purchase capsules, these will change the body terrain too. Best to you

Hi Bozana, I agree with Teena, don't give up!!
To answer your question, within a week, I saw some improvement and it just kept on getting better from then on.there was no particular protocol, just gave him 2-3 tablets(, the brand available here is weleda) a day, let's say morning, daytime, maybe once again.. strangely, it was never itchy for him, so leaving it alone was not an issue.i wish I could come up with more hands on ideas,, the most important thing is, don t give up!! Do the diet, help your body fight the fungus and keep on beating it from different directions, persistently..! The coal tar shampoo really helped with the flaking, it went away, and by the end (last month or so out of 4 months)I only washed his hair(i.e.his patch, and the hair surrounding it) twice a week(by the way, I don't think it ever contributed to the actual healing, it made the patch smooth, therefore it finally made sense to put oils/creams/ointments there, knowing they are able to penetrate the skin) I still think the black walnut tincture was brilliant, if you are able to get it, I would recommend taking it internally as well as applying it topically (see the link further up that Mama to Many copied there for me ). Wishing you a speedy recovery Bozana, please don't let it dishearten you, you can beat this!!

Dear Teena, thank you for your suggestions. I believe in sulphur and I will continue taking it. I already cured my 3 cats with the lime sulphur. But since the medical science hasn't found any topical therapy which would be efficient enough to kill the fungus and gentle enough to spare the skin, we must search. And microsporum canis is extremely contagious, so that danger of self-reinfection is always there. I am using ozone generator, to cleanse the air of all pathogen organisms. I used to put ozonated olive oil on my head but skin doesn't absorb it and with time beasts managed to eat through it. Unbelievable! But, I know they can't eat sulphur and black seed oil. I already tried some herbs and spices that you mentioned here, maybe I should have been more persistent. Others I will try and borax too. We'll see what happens. I'll report here.Replied By Bozana (Croatia) on 04/15/2018
Dear Zsuzsi, thank you for your suggestions. I only lost some hair around hairline, which made me look like a balding man. Black seed oil made my hair so strong and thick like never before. I've spent my whole life with very think and scarce hair, but now, after 1 year of application of black seed oil, I have excellent hair quality. And now, sulphur fixed the rest and my hair is growing above my forehead too. So, all fine and better than ever, but the itch tells me that the fungus is still there. Black seed oil is offering relief but I will have to try some other things to kill the fungus topically. Your son definitely had another type of the fungus, and not the microsporum. I am so thankful for your post and the new hope. I can't order weleda sulphur here, I don't know why they don't deliver, but my sister in the US ordered some and sent it to me. I'm also planning to try borax, castor oil and a few more things. I will never give up. Thank you for your encouragement. All the best.Replied By Zsuzsi (Ireland) on 04/15/2018
P.s. Bozana, that s great news that you have your hair grown back, I know it must be so upsetting to experience that! Here's just to say, I think any decent 30c sulphur tablets/pellets will do, really, if they work for you.seeing how homeopathy helped us(and I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't experienced it first hand), there might be a more appropriate remedy for your problem out there...Replied By Bozana (Croatia) on 05/01/2018
Dear Zsuzsi,
Here is update from Bozana.
After I used two dispenser of Boiron's pellets of Sulfur 30 c and felt great relief, my friend a homeopath advised me to slow down and start using 2-3 pellets every 3 to 4 days. I felt quite sad because this is finally something that helps. I read that too much of sulfur can cause damage, no one knows how, but it can. It reads on the dispenser that I could take them 3x5 a day, but I took 3x3 a day. And after a period of aggravation I started feeling much better. I am now in the phase of searching for a homeopath who will prescribe medication for me and possibly reassure me in regard to taking "too much sulphur". I have enough Sulphur for a year, but I am taking just a 3 pellets every 3 days, as I was told. Let's see what happens next. It is obvious that I can't be cured fast, but at least, I know something that can cure me. Thanks to your and other mom's post my hair returned, which is a great thing. Sulphur 30 c did it. But, the terrible itch is still there. Maybe another form of sulfur will help me if this one is dangerous when taken for a long period of time. Let's see. Thank you and regards from sunny Croatia, all the best to you and your family
