Tips
1. Keep the infected area clean and dry.
2. Keep proper hygiene.
3. Don't scratch the effected area as it could spread infection to other parts of the body.
There are many ointments available in the market for ringworm but they do not cure it completely, they appear back as soon as you stop using them.
You are advised to take homeopathic treatment to cure ringworm completely.
You can also consult me online for homeopathic treatment without any side effects.
