Yup...very ugly and NASTY! I also have it on my neck -___-
In this pic, I put tea tree oil earlier in the morning. It was burning so bad, and it left my skin so dry and white, so I put some olive oil to help relieve the burning and dryness. The olive oil actually helped greatly. This is the first time I'm doing this. Currently, I am using tea tree oil with Lotrimin. I have been suffering from ringworm for about a year now. It did go away for about a month in the middle of the year after using tea tree oil and lotrimin for about 5 months.. -___-. Yup, it took that long. But then it came back! I've been using the same treatment, but now I notice that it's not working as well. It will relieve the itching, but that is all. The ringworm looks the same from day to day. So, I decided to research more. I have found out that the tea tree oil does help with ringworm symptoms and may work for some people, but it is not strong enough to actually kill the fungus. Also, using creams such as lotrimin for a long period of time can actually damage the liver, which can actually make the ringworm worse. *Sigh* I also actually went to the doctor last month. They took a sample of the skin to make sure if it's ringworm. They called me a week later and couldn't even tell me what it was and was about to say that there wasn't enough sample but changed her mind and just said that they can refer me to a dermatologist instead. And then they billed me $175 for that work! Ugh! Just goes to show how reliable they are...Anyway, so I decided to do things on my own since also on my long research about ringworm treatments, many people who went to the doctor ended up having to take things on their own hands since doctors simply prescribe medicated creams that didn't help much or did heal the ringworm for a while but came back. I stumbled upon a site talking about coconut oil as one of the best cures for ringworm and other fungi infections. So, upon researching twenty more sites about coconut oil as a treatment for ringworm, all of them said that coconut oil has worked for the people who have used it. Also, after researching which is the best coconut oil to purchase, I decided to buy virgin coconut oil straight from the Philippines on the site TropicalTraditions.com.
I just ordered the gold label virgin coconut oil and two of their soaps. I'm very excited about these products as I have also found that coconut oil helps with eczema as well. It helps keep your skin very smooth and healthier, and may also decrease wrinkles as a moisturizer. It can also be used as a hair treatment, making hair shinier and easing frizziness. Taken orally, it helps with candida overgrowth and also helps with body clean-up. With all these benefits, I just had to try it!!
And here is my eczema (pretty mild):
You can't really see it, but pretty much the eczema has made my skin so dry that it bleeds with a light scratch. Many times, I get cuts on my hand without knowing how it happened.
So, I hope the detox and the coconut oil and soaps will help to clear up the ringworm and help with the symptoms of my eczema..
