May 26, 2008
Ringworm sounds pretty bad. As if some ugly, ring-shaped worm creature was crawling around under somebody’s skin. Even worse, it’s common among infants and young children.
Fact is, ringworm isn’t hard to identify or treat. Actually, if you just left it alone and didn’t treat it at all, your body would develop a natural immunity over a few months or more.
It is, however, still best to treat ringworm, to remove the blotches on the skin and help the body out. Since it’s so easy to do so, most people opt to get ringworm out of their lives.
If ringworm of the body covers a large area, is severe or doesn’t respond to over-the-counter medicine, you may need a prescription-strength topical or oral medication. These include:
Topical cure for ringworm
· Econazole (Spectazole)
· Miconazole (Monistat-Derm)
Oral cure for ringworm
· Itraconazole (Sporanox)
· Fluconazole (Diflucan)
· Terbinafine (Lamisil)
· Ketoconazole (Nizoral)
Side effects from oral medications include gastrointestinal upset, rash and abnormal liver functioning. Taking other medications, such as antacid therapies for ulcer disease or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), may interfere with the absorption of these drugs. Oral medications for ringworm may alter the effectiveness of warfarin, an anticoagulant drug that decreases the clotting ability of your blood.
