Ringworm FAQ
Q: What does an effective ringworm treatment do?
An effective formula is determined by the quality and appropriateness of the ingredients it contains. The treatment should be formulated based on actual clinical research, not just a long list of ingredients that look good on the label. For optimum results, the formula should provide a dual fronted approach: First, it should treat the underlying cause of the infection to effectively eradicate fungus. Second, it should contain ingredients that will provide quick, soothing relief for the itching and inflammation.
The most effective way to combat ringworm is to have a formula that uses natural essential oils to carry antifungal agents to the deeper layers of the skin, to fight deep-rooted infections and provide the skin with elements needed for quick healing and optimal skin health. However, other precautions should be taken to minimize the risk of reinfection – e.g. scratching affected areas, towel sharing and avoiding infected people/pets.
Q: Do all ringworm treatments work?
Unfortunately, no. Many fly-by-night companies just ride these trends, manufacturing inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often use cheap additives and synthetic ingredients that do not have the optimal desired effect as active ingredients.
Q: What should I look for?
- It must contain 25% standardized undecylenic acid.
- It must have no additives, preservatives or any other artificial ingredients.
- It must contain 100% pure clinically proven ingredients.
- It must be a dual action internal/external healing formula.
Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?
From our research, a quality formula should not cause any interference with other medications or conditions. However, we still recommend consulting with a physician if you have a medical condition, are pregnant or nursing, or take medications on a regular basis.
Q: Are Ringworm treatments safe to use with children?
Ringworm Treatments can often be a topical formula, and do not enter the blood stream like oral medication. Make sure to check the ingredient list on the manufacturer’s website. People of all ages use Ringworm Treatments, but if you have a concern about giving a treatment to your child, we always recommend asking your pediatrician first.
Q: How do I use a ringworm treatment?
You should apply treatment to the affected areas, twice a day until the infection has completely disappeared. Also, other preventive measure should also be taken to avoid reinfection.
Q: How long will it take to see the effects?
Some customers we spoke to reported seeing results in days. For others, it took a little longer. Results also seem to be a bit different for each person. Some show unbelievable change right away, while others don’t experience a change as quickly. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t see the results they want in any time frame.
Q: How much do ringworm products cost?
The cost of ringworm treatments varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap quality products trying to cash in on the trend. Some of these companies sell their supplements for as much as $100 per bottle, which we think is a bit too high. Others may appear cheaper, but they often use synthetic or ineffective ingredients that are not as effective as the ones found in a premium formula.
Q: What’s the best treatment brand to buy?
Each person will see different results with different products, so it’s hard to say offhand which is best. However, we particularly liked Research Verified Ringworm Killer. We found it to be the best of the 40+ products we researched, based on the product quality, customer feedback, and the company’s customer service.
You can experiment to see which product is right for you, but if you’re looking for a well-reviewed product you can count on, we think you’ll love Research Verified Ringworm Killer, a high-quality product at a fair price.
