Scalp Ringworm - What Are Your Choices Of Treatments
Scalp ringworm will affect around 10% of Americans this year. The infection itself isn’t actually caused by any worm, the name ringworm comes from the pattern the infection can have on your skin. Ringworm of the scalp can be difficult to cure so knowing all of your options can save you time, and be more beneficial to your health.
Treating your scalp ringworm conventionally will require you to use an anti fungal shampoo, and an oral drug treatment ( Griseofulvin ). The reason you need an oral anti fungal drug is the shampoo can’t penetrate your scalp to kill the fungus that has infected the hair shaft. The shampoo will kill the fungus that is living on your scalp, and help prevent the infection from spreading while you’re taking the oral anti fungals.
