can be saved. There are a large number of over the counter treatments for ring worm but most are rather costly. With a few ingredients properly measured and mixed,It would be easy to create your own home cure for ring worm. The problem is,most people do not know what ringworm looks like,which can cause permanent hair loss. Here's a cure that was copied from an old medical document dated 1926 by DR. William A. Evans M.D... (and colleges). When the doctor was asked the question "what is ring worm and can it be cured?" He responded by saying ..."inflammation of the skin due to a parasite. Yes,the best and surest method of cure is the use of X-ray.A good method is to pull out the hairs around the ringworm patch and to keep them pulled out. "Wash the patch twice daily with soap and water and then paint with iodine or rub in sulfur and mercury ointment. Spend at least ten minutes rubbing the ointment in. Ringworm cannot be cured by anyone in a short time. Patient,persevering thoroughness is a necessity of treatment. It matters little what drug is used. It matters much that patient, thorough care be given." This holds true when treating pets as well. Years ago when there wasn't a drug store on every corner or a doctor just a few blocks away,many people made their own medicines,and ring worm cure was one of these medicines. While growing up on a tobacco farm in the southern part of Virginia,I recall my brother and I having head teeter,(scalp ring worm.) The itch was something I will never forget! The infected spot was scaly white and hair in the area became very thin. My brother had a large spot at the front left side of his scalp, and mine was directly in the center back of the skull. But thanks to Dad's Ring Worm Killer ,we were soon cured. This old remedy was handed down from his mother,which was of African and American Indian descent. Before the ointment was applied the remaining hair was removed from the infected area with hair clippers. The hair in the area was kept trimmed as close to the scalp as possible,(very important). The ointment was applied twice daily;morning and night. The head was covered with a night cap to keep the cream on the infected area and to protect sleeping covers. Tinea of the scalp;meaning any fungus skin disease, can be very difficult to get rid of. So it's very important to be consistent with what-ever form of treatment you may choose. |
