Ringworm?

**AnabolicAndre** · 02-07-2006, 10:09 PM

Ok this is kinda gross... But Im not sure how to treat it hoping you guys had some sort of previous experience...

I think I have may developed an acute case of RINGWORM from where I dont know but its on my thigh. Back in high school, I used hyrdogen peroxide to steralize it then a clean brillo pad and bleach and that god rid of it but SHIT it hurt!!!

I was thinking what if I put tea tree oil on it or lamsil or something anyone help me out!!!

Your lucky you dont have it on your head or you'd have quarter sized bald spots on your head.

What exactly is a ringworm?

**MeanMachine2000** · 02-07-2006, 11:19 PM

OKAY.Ringworm is a skin and scalp disease caused by several different kinds of fungi. Ringworm on the scalp usually makes a bald patch of scaly skin. People with ringworm on other parts of their skin can have a ring-shaped rash that is reddish and may be itchy. The rash can be dry and scaly or wet and crusty.

Make sure you change your gym cloth right after your done your work .. . (sweaty areas were moisture is trapped i think cause it to get worse or is a cause of it)

lamasil works pretty well, i had it back in highschool when i used to wrestle. not really bad just an inconveniance the otc cream takes it away in about 2 weeks. just keep putting it on even when you think its gone to make sure. if that doesnt work a doc can prescribe something stronger or a combo of a cream/oral meds as well.

It works well and fast. Lotrimin AF. It's basically all the same. Just use it as directed and don't give it to the bros at the gym.....cover it up in there with a wrap or something. Sucks, I used to get it wrestling.

I went to my doc because I used to get it all the time, he gave me some cream and it was phenomenal. It went away in a few days. No pain or anything, and it took away all the itching.

Athletes foot medication takes care of ringworm. Get the cream.

I took it upon my self scrubbed it with a scouring pad and bleach... the hydrogen peroxide to steralize it

But ill be picking up some lamasil, and aparently a bunch of the guys from the football team have it too. Its an epidemic but thanks now I know Lamasil works!
