What Is Ringworm, and How Can It Be Treated Naturally? - #15448
I recently noticed a red, circular, itchy rash on my skin, and after some research, I found out it could be ringworm. From what I understand, ringworm is a fungal infection, not an actual worm, but how does it spread, and what causes it? I read that ringworm can appear on the scalp, feet (athlete’s foot), groin (jock itch), or body, and it spreads through skin contact, contaminated objects, and even pets. How do you know if a rash is actually ringworm, and what are the best ways to treat it? One thing that concerns me is that ringworm can keep coming back, especially in humid and sweaty conditions. What are the best ways to prevent ringworm recurrence, and does diet play a role in fungal infections? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural remedies that can help treat ringworm? I’ve heard that Neem, Aloe Vera, and Apple Cider Vinegar are effective in killing fungal infections—do these actually work? If anyone has had ringworm, what treatments helped you recover the fastest? Did home remedies or antifungal medications work best?
