Is it true that there’s an old-fashioned way to cure ringworm?

Currently there is no “local solution for tinea capitis”. Tinea capitis is a fungal infection of the skin that involves the scalp and hair, and the treatment is based on systemic medications, supplemented by local topical medications, and at the same time, it is necessary to disinfect and decontaminate pollutants and contaminated environments to prevent re-infection and spread. 1. Drugs: commonly used systemic drugs include itraconazole, terbinafine, fluconazole, ashwagandha, etc. (liver and kidney functions need to be checked regularly in the course of treatment); auxiliary local topical drugs include clotrimazole, miconazole, econazole, and rilanaphthenate, etc. (alone cannot cure tinea capitis, and it is only used as auxiliary treatment). 2. Disinfect and decontaminate pollutants and polluted environment: patients’ used towels, hats, pillowcases, combs and other daily necessities and hairdressing tools should be boiled and disinfected. And pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the lesion area dry and clean, prevent infection, and cut all the diseased hair as far as possible. Therefore, the diagnosis of tinea capitis patients should actively seek medical treatment, follow the doctor’s instructions to actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, do not blindly believe in some “prescription”.
