Will I found out today I have ringworm on my knee. I feel really nasty. I know I read that sea salt helps didn't know if there was anything else herb wise that could help.
Plus I think I got it from one of my three dogs. So That means I need to figure out which. Anyone know of anything???

That really sucks! I don't know of anything but what the doc dishes out. Sorry.

I always thought it was weird that when the fungus is on your feet it's called Athelete's foot, but if it's anywhere else it's Ringworm. :s

Get better soon!

Ya haven't been to doc can't afford the bill right now. but Im sure it will get better saw on computer sea salt helps & my bfs mom said to put nail polish on it. It kills the worm or whatever so trying it. If not guess Ill have to make & pay that bills. But it will be all good thanks tho

Oh, ringworm is horrible to deal with. The only two remedies I know of are apple cider vinegar (balances the acidity in human skin) and clear nail polish. And you will need to wash all your clothing and bedding, including anything the dogs have been on with hot water and bleach.

I have heard that bleach (1 part to 6 parts water dabbed on) but have not ever tried it. Seems like that would cause a chemical burn. With that being said, Clorox brand is sodium hypochlorite, which should be safe for skin. You wouldn't want to use sodium hydroxide (caustic lye).

You can tell which dog has ringworm by using a black light. Oddly enough, ringworm has a greenish glow in black light. You can also look for any heavy shedding in one area and/or rough scaly skin. It doesn't always show up as red raised bumps.

I hope you get rid of it before it spreads! Good luck.

Thanks for the info afathera Im doin the clear nail polish right now. I've been tryint to see which dog has it but couldn't tell will use your info & see if I can find which. Thanks again

More than likely all your dogs have it. It is highly contagious. Ringworm is a fungus, not an actual worm parasite. Since it is a fungus try using fungicides, herbally you could make a pokeberry tincture for future use or St. John's wort which both have fungicide qualities. Then you would apply topically. Poke though stains the affected area purple.

hope this helps,

thanks jb I've wrote thanks to you on here like 4 times tonight lol. I figure they most all have it they all been around each other. Just dont get why my mom & I have each only had it once from them. when Im out there with them all the time. Ya i figured it wasn't a really worm But people swear it is lol.
