Ringworm at the gym..

[225for70]

I have it on my foot and on my neck. My training partner got it on his leg..It's pretty easy to spot, and diagnose. You can usually tell by the rings that appear on the skin. public gyms can be a hotbed for contracting things like ring worm, athletes foot, Mersa, Yeast ?

I have been using some lamasil (Clotrimazole 1%) for it. However, it's been 3 weeks and it hasn't gone away yet..

I heard that Bleach kills it instantly?  Can anyone confirm this?

Wipe the gym equipment before every use.

Go see a dermatologist and get a prescription for your fungal infection.

dip the base of your foot in a small tray of bleach for 1 minute.

If you feel it burning then remove your foot.

Wash your foot thoroughly.

Haven't heard the bleach thing, but you could ask the Pharmacist about it and also what OTC cream is best.

That's what i heard...Does it discolor the skin in anyway?

what the fuck 

you guys talk about it like it's normal..."oh yeah, it's a ring worm, no biggie, like a flu". Maby I should have a second thought about moving to a hot climate!

I read a few online anecdotes that it works well. However, i need to confirm it with GB's first. I already got the two best anti-fungal agents that can be acquired OTC. Which cost me more than a trip to the doctor. Prescription based preparations are almost identical to OTC. However, they have double the active ingredient. I just end up covering the ringworm with extra cream to compensate for the lower strength.. But the process is to slow for..It's incredibly itchy on my neck. That's why i'm curious about trying bleach.

It's not a ring worm.

Yes,

You'll have blotchy white patches that fade after a few years.

The prescription stuff has the same effect.

Is it going away at all?  I would ask a PHarmacist. ...just to confirm your dianoses from the experts here of course.

At least a couple of kids on our wrestling team get it every years and we keep our mats clean and wiped down after every practice. It isn't that big a deal but you also have to be careful it isn't a staph infection as well. If its just ring worm, the lamosil usually gets rid of it in a week but if its longer, see a doc ASAP!!

[225for70]

@ boost..

I'll try it on my foot and access the situation.  if it works well without dis-colorization i'll try my neck.

@ Butterbean. It's going away( getting lighter in color very slowly) however, the last time i had ringworm it took about 8 weeks to go away, and i was using prescription strength topical preparations.
@ Marino,
I got lamisil, both the one made for ringworm and the regular one made for Athletes foot. I't isn't a staph infection..It's ringworm. That's good to know that you take the extra precautions for your gym.

Sodium Hypochlorite (chlorine bleach) was a treatment for Trench Foot (fungal infection) during World War One...When I was a kid in deep suburban/semirural Houston... me and my brother would go wading in drainage culverts in the neighborhood after rainstorms...We were perpetually infected...Pediatrician had mom soak our feet in a dishpan of water with a cup of Clorox in it...straight bleach might be too strong.

well it was common in finland and sweden in the wrestling community when i was younger(greco roman not the americans fantasy thing). it was more or like a epidemic and we had to see a doctor in the weight ins at every competetion.

why do people go to the gym of all places to work out? what is it that attracts people there like flies

are you willing to lower your lifespan with all the mega worms and mutaded bacteria constantly mounting attacks on your immune system? 


Why not simply working out somewhere else?  money in your pocket, no rings worms. Viola! problem solved, and then some...
