Bleach on Ringworm

Ringworm on the body is quite common. Sometimes it does not require any treatment and it will heal itself. If the case of ringworm infection is not severe, it can be treated at home. The most common home treatment is to use over the counter cream that contains miconazole or clotrimazole. You can find these ingredients in products like Mycelex, Lotrimin and Monistat. You should continue the treatment for a minimum of 2 weeks.

In severe cases of ringworm infection, it is necessary to consult a doctor for treatment. The doctor may prescribe topical corticosteroid to stop the itch as well as oral medication.

 

Well, if you really dare to risk it - yes, it would work. You're right, btw. - creams need mostly two weeks to cure ringworm.

Put 2 cups of warm, distilled water into a glass bowl.
Add 1/3-cup of chlorine bleach to the water. Swirl around to mix.
Dip a sterile cotton swab into the bleach mixture. Apply the wet cotton swab directly to the ring worm, going 1/4 inch over the edge of the ringworm to the clear skin. Repeat this process with clean cotton swabs until the area is covered.
Leave the bleach on the skin over night or as long as possible.
Use a sterile cotton ball on the ringworm if you have a large patch you need to cover.

Warning: if you find the bleach mixture burns your skin, dilute it with another 1/2 cup of water. On the other hand, if you are seeing no results with the bleach treatment, bring the water amount down by 1/2 cup until you see results. Wash all bedding and clothing that has come into contact with the ringworm in very hot water. Do not use straight bleach as it can burn and scar the skin. Once the cotton swab or cotton ball has touched the ringworm, do not return it to the bleach mixture. Be careful not to get the bleach mixture on clothing.

And the most important thing: look for an allergic reaction after applying the bleach to your skin! If you see any reaction, wash the bleach of immediately and consult a doctor asap. Ringworm starts little in the beginning but can get larger and very nasty.
And remember that ringworm is highly contagious. If touched directly, wash your hands after that or you will spread it further.

 

Bleach kills shit.
Your skin constitutes as shit.
Bleach will kill your skin.
Use bleach and your f*cked.

 

Vovin is absolutely correct in all of his statements. The only thing that he did not mention is that lamisil (terbinafine) actually kills fungus and can work in a faster fashion that the other drugs that were mentioned. They take a longer time because they only keep the fungus from reproducing, so they die off by natural lifespan...

Perhaps more important - Staph infections are becoming epidemic - especially in situations that you are describing - a staph infection will not go away with antifungals (although it could be killed by bleach), but frequently needs to be treated with anitibiotics, and also is contagious by contact with another person, or surface - so if you are getting any painful pustules - consider staph and get checked out by a doctor...

 

Oh, yes, thank you for adding that!

Sorry, but I don't do brain implants.

 

Ringworm is a fungus. Grows inside you.

 

That means don't pour bleach on your skin. Did you have Biology?
