I’ve had ringworm before on my face and on my arm and i’ve used cream on my face and bleach on my arm to get rid of it. The cream takes too long so i prefer bleach. Now i have another small patch on my ear but i don’t want to risk burning it with bleach. I’ve heard that clear nail polish works but I’m not sure. Would it work?

I had it on my leg once and used clear nail polish and it cleared up in just a day or two. however it did leave a small scar.
I’ve heard it works because it suffocates the infection
hope it works!
you need an antifungal cream
Anti-fungal cream treatments is better; the nail polish (diluted acetone) evaporates too fast so it wont stay long enough to kill all the ring-worn (fungus). The anti-fungal cream like miconazole or terbinafine applied twice daily, stay longer and are more effective. For severe cases there are oral medications.
