    I got ringworm when I was a little girl and I thought worms were living in my arm. Hysterical screams are my main memory of this traumatic event. :-) When I calmed down, my mom put vinegar on the spot, several times a day, and it went away promptly.

    Sharing experience: homeopathic medicine is usually brilliant at sorting it - I speak from years of experience have picked up ringworm infection from cattle several times in my life and having treated it in animals for 38 years. My experience was also never to 'rub' anything in, as that may help spread of the infection at the edges. Any topical treatment should be carefully 'dabbed'.
