HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR RINGWORM
Ringworm
isn't caused by worms. The skin infection, also known
as tinea, is caused by fungi called dermatophytes. Fungi are microscopic
organisms that can live off the dead tissues of your skin, hair and nails much like a mushroom can grow
on the bark of a tree.
Causes- Ringworm
is caused by a fungus that grows on the skin. Once the fungus is established,
it spreads out in rings. The centre of the ring may clear up, while a new ring
of infection develops at the edge of the old ring.
Children are
most likely to get ringworm. Ringworm of the scalp can spread from child to
child when children share hats, combs, or brushes. Ringworm of the body can be
spread on towels, clothing, or sports equipment. Personal hygiene is important
in preventing the spread of ringworm. Dogs and cats can also be infected with
ringworm, and they can pass it to people through direct contact
Symptoms- Ringworm
of the scalp--:Dry, brittle hair or hair loss in patches, Severe
itching, Red-ringed patch of small blisters or scaly skin
Ringworm of
the body:--Red-ringed patch of small blisters or scaly skin, Severe itching is
sometimes present

practice nurse or doctor if you have a red-ringed skin infection, severe
itching of the skin or scalp, a scaly rash or hair loss
