AND ANYONE ELSE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT SKIN AND STUFF
I dunno, I guess I'm asking you Saberie because you said you know a few things about doctor.. ness stuff. And all that jazz.
I'm lucky because I get NO ACNE, none at all, but one day I wake up with a nice, red bumpy circle on my face.
Two weeks ago.
We have concluded its a ringworm (which is not really a worm, apparently its a fungus) so I've been putting this overthecounter anti-fungal medicine creme on it, and it's STILL there on my face. Sometimes it fades for about a day then comes back the next day, it's retarded.
HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS??!!

Well I'm not Saberie, but I'll still give my input~
I have no personal experience with ringworms, but I've heard that bath salts/salt water and weak acids such as vinegar and bleach are often used to get rid of it. The bleach option kind of freaks me out though, so if I were in your situation, I'd try the salt or the vinegar.
Just don't rub it at all! >< Pat the area instead when applying any treatments. Rubbing will just irritate it and make it spread.
Oh, and as usual, CALL A DOCTOR AND ASK WHAT TO DO.

Woah that was helpful surprised thats exactly what i wanted, home remedies and such. OK I'll put salt and vinegar on it. And a little bleach. If I just use a little on it it couldn't hurt. Thank you! biggrin

._. be careful with bleach.
We got told in R.S that if you swallowed some and were sick, you'd puke your stomach DX
not nice... but it's hard to do that unless you felt like drinking bleach, which I doubt anybody here would do

No, are you kidding? Bleach is delicious. Especially the super strong kind.

They have cream for ringworm. Or you could use baking soda or atheletes foot medicine on it.
