Treat tinea with Homeopathy

The term “ringworm” refers to infections, which appear on the surface of the . Earlier it was believed that it is caused due to a worm, however, the truth is that it is caused due to a fungal infection.
   The words ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot may sound funny. If you’re a teen with any one of these infections, you’re probably not laughing. If you’ve ever had one, you know that any of these infections can produce some pretty unpleasant symptoms. Some of these fungi produce round spots, but many do not. On the other hand, many round spots are not from fungus. A proper diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. Ringworm is medically known as tinea. Doctors add another word to indicate where the fungus is located. Tinea Capitis, for instance, refers to scalp ringworm, tinea corporis to fungal infection of the body, tinea mannum to fungus on the hands and so on. Heat and moisture help fungi grow and thrive, which makes them more common in folds such as those in the groin (known as tinea cruris) or between the toes (tinea pedis).
   Ringworm is contagious and is easily spread from one person to another so avoid touching an infected person. It can also spread through contaminated items such as hairbrushes or through the use of same toilet seat, which is being used by an infected person. There are possibilites to get infected from contact with animals like cats and dogs.
   Some individuals are genetically predisposed, and get infected easily throughout life. Do not share clothing, sports equipment, towels or sheets. Numerous folk remedies have been promoted for the treatment of ringworm, many of them contain potentially dangerous caustic or acidic ingredients. These remedies generally take the approach of trying to burn away the fungal infection with mild acid preparations. It should be noted that the efficacy of such treatments are not recognised outside of anecdotal reports. Individuals suspecting they are infected with ringworm or who suspect their pets are infected would be well advised to seek appropriate medical attention.

He was losing his selfconfidence out of embarrassment of itching in public. He was clinically detected to have fungal infection, which was confirmed through a wood’s lamp examination, which showed flouroscence. Post a detailed case; he was given homeopathic medicine Silicea 200. Within few months his itching subsided and he was cured of his fungal infection completely within 2 years of treatment. For consecutive months, under wood’s lamp there was no flouroscence, which confirmed the cure.
