Ringworm (also called tinea) is a common fungal infection of the skin, not caused by an actual worm. It appears as a red, circular, and often itchy rash with clearer skin in the center, hence the name "ringworm."
Conventional Treatment:
Conventional treatments include antifungal creams (like clotrimazole or terbinafine) and, in more persistent cases, oral antifungal medications. These treatments are generally very effective.
Homeopathy and Ringworm
Homeopathy approaches treatment based on individual symptoms, overall constitution, and the patient's response to illness. It does not directly target the fungus but aims to strengthen the body's ability to resist and recover from infections.
Some commonly used homeopathic remedies for ringworm include:
