Scalp ringworm treatments vary massively in their effectiveness, and the time in which your scalp fungal infection will be cured. Your choices of treatments range from, completely natural, 100% safe home remedies to oral anti fungals that have the risk of side effects, and can cause other health issues.
Prescription treatments
Prescription scalp fungal infection treatments are usually a shampoo and an oral anti fungal drug. The oral drug is needed because the shampoo can’t penetrate the scalp to get to the ringworm fungus that is under your skin, and in the hair shafts. It’s the oral anti fungals that can come with some side effects. These are…
Nausea
Loss of taste
Diarrhoea,
Headaches
Rash
Swelling of the lips, face, tongue, and/or throat
Hives
Changes in vision are signs of an allergic reaction
Men can’t father children for 6 months after finishing treatment
Pregnant women can’t take the medicine
Prescription treatments for scalp ringworm include…
Fluconazole (Diflucan): This pill needs to be taken daily for two to four weeks.
Itraconazole (Sporanox): Sporanox is taken orally for one to two weeks, depending on the dose.
Ketoconazole (Nizoral): This daily pill will probably be prescribed for several weeks.
Terbinafine (Lamisil, Daskil): This is the same medicine as in Lamisil cream, but the pill is stronger.
Griseofulvin (Fulvicin): This is an older medicine, but is still an effective choice.
Natural scalp ringworm treatments
Natural ringworm treatments don’t carry any side effects, and they will cure your fungal infection a lot quicker than prescription medicines. Ringworm of the scalp is usually cured within 7 to 10 days with a natural cure.
You can choose between manufactured natural ringworm cures, or you can find a recommended home cure where you just use products bought in your local supermarket.
The major benefit of a natural remedy is it can be used by all family members. If more than one of your family are infected then a different prescription medicine will need to be used by each infected person whereas a natural cure will treat everyone so the cost to you is a lot less.
