Ringworm Treatments - Conventional Or Natural?


Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin, scalp, feet and nails. With so many treatments available to you its difficult to make a decision as to use a conventional ringworm cure or a natural ringworm cure. This article focuses of treatments for ringworm of your skin and scalp.

The information below is for information only, and is in no way a replacement for a doctors diagnosis or advice.

A conventional treatment for your ringworm fungal infection is usually an anti fungal cream lotion or powder. These work by killing the fungus living on your skin. The active ingredients in these treatments are clotrimazole and miconazole, which are anti fungal drugs commonly used against most external fungal infections. You have a very small chance of an allergic reaction to these active ingredients, and if you think you are suffering from a reaction you need to stop the treatment immediately, and see your doctor.

If you have ringworm of the scalp, then this is treated with tablets that usually have to be taken for up to 10 weeks. Women can't use this treatment if they are pregnant, and men can't father children for up to 6 months after treatment. The active drug in this tablet is griseofulvin which has an unpleasant taste.

Natural treatments are completely different to conventional drugs when treating your ringworm. Natural treatments will not only treat your ringworm fungal infection, but they will aid in the healing of your skin. You can also treat your skin and scalp with the same natural ringworm treatment. There's no need to start buying more than one kind of cure.

The right natural ringworm treatment will also cure your ringworm from underneath your skin. It will penetrate your skin and push the fungus out so there is a very tiny chance of a reoccurrence of the infection.

Your whole family can be treated with the same treatment at the same time with a natural ringworm cure. And you can expect to see results within a couple of days. Your skin will be healed in about 7 to 10 days.

A natural ringworm remedy saves you a lot of money in the end especially if you have more than one family member infected with the fungus. A natural treatment also comes with a guarantee which you don't get with a conventional, drug treatment.
