Ringworm everywhere?

Recently, a friend told me that she went to the doctor. He told her that she has ringworm (I find it a bit odd since he didn't take her blood for testing) which she could have gotten from her cat, but there's a thing. I've talked to my father, and he told me he's had ringworm before, and said that it was a round, red ring on the skin. I looked it up online and then asked her where it was on her body, and she told me it was on her legs, arms, back, neck, ect.





I'm a bit skeptical about this, because to my knowledge, ringworm can only go on one spot, unless you have been touching it or something else.





She describes that the spots are itchy and bumpy and that she's had them for about a week. She's planning on going to a doctor on Thursday for a second opinion.





Thank you for answering my questions!

Ringworm everywhere?
Hi, there. It sure sounds as if your friend has ringworm. It easily spreads from place to place on the body, so it's not surprising she has it everywhere. As others have said, "ring worm" is a fungal infection. It cannot be deteted on blood tests.





Your friend can quickly eliminate "ringworm" by putting pure Tea Tree Oil on it 3-5 times per day. Tea Tree Oil is a strong anti-fungal that is anti-viral and anti-bacterial and will help the skin heal. To help her body fight the fungal infection from the inside, try using Olive Leaf extract or Oregano Oil, and follow the instructions on the bottle. Both of these are powerful antifungals that will help her body eliminate the ringworm AND any other fungal infections she may not be aware of. For rapid relief, especially before bed, your friend should try adding 10 drops Tea Tree Oil, 2 cups Apple Cider Vinegar, and 2 cups of Epsom salts to a bath and then soak in the tub for 15-20 minutes. Another bath additive that will help include colloidal oatmeal, but don't buy it from the store. "Colloidal" just means easily dispersed in water, so there's nothing special about it. Your friend can make her own colloidal oatmeal by putting regular oats for oatmeal in a blend and grinding them 'til they're very fine. Lavender Essential Oil and 5 chamomile tea bags will also help. Any and all of these items can safely be added to the same bath.





I hope your friend is able to find relief quickly. I know how maddening a ringworm infection can be. Good luck!

Cheap cure is antigungal cream like something for athlete's foot that is what our dr told us to use just make sure even though you think it is gone continue to treat for a little while longer tomake sure you have it all gone.


Easy to spread it makesure she dont touch anyone else
Reply:ringworm isn't a wigly worm. Its a fungal skin infection. It grows in places that sweats easily. And yes, it will appear in the area that the skin made contact with the infected source.
Reply:Yes she has ringworm. This is not a worm. It is a skin rash and is HIGHLY contageous. It doesn't have anything to do with where she touches just comes up where it is sweaty.
Reply:Could be.


needs to get a second opion! about it..
Reply:Ringworm can go anywhere it wants on the body. You don't need to take a blood test to know you have it. Ringworm is passed by contact with infected skin, or other surfaces. It isn't actually a worm, but a fungi called a dermatophyte.
