I have ringworm on my forearm and I’m afraid it will spread. What are some home remedies that will cure this fungus? I have heard some people say bleach works well, however I have also heard people say that it is harmful to your skin and there is a possibility of the bleach burning your skin. What is the most efficient way to get rid of this ringworm….Thanks in advance!!

If you are sure that it is a ring worm then you can go to the pharmacy and get an over-the-counter anti fungal cream. What ever you do don”t put bleach on your face you might regret it. Make sure you stay on top of the problem because if ring worm get to your scalp, you will have to take medication by mouth that could potentially cause liver problems.
Bleach is not the answer. There are topical fungal creams available that will help with ringworm. Ask the pharmacist – or if it is severely itchy and red – call your doctor – there is a prescription available that stops it in its tracks.
anti-fungal cream for athlete’s foot works great.
