Please help! Ringworm growing!!!
I have had ringworm show up on my skin maybe 3 or 4 times before this latest outbreak. The rings have always been small and few and I would use over-the-counter creams with success.
This time I wanted to see how natural methods worked so I put tea tree oil on the two small rings I had that were near each other. I just put straight undiluted tea tree oil on the rings and was generous with the amount I used. One of the rings started clearing pretty quickly and then I tried apple cider vinegar,which seemed to kind of burn the other one, so I stopped with that. I kept using the tea tree oil and sometimes coconut oil too.
I also started taking Garden of Life's Fungal Defense which contains syrian oregano, sweet basil, lemongrass powder, olive leaf extract, cinnamon bark powder, protease, cellulase, garlic juice, and yucca juice.
I started getting a rash where the first ring had disappeared and before I knew it there was a large red rash where the rings had been and where I had been putting the tea tree oil. This was definitely like a rash with little red bumps and REALLY ITCHY, but it also looked like a burn, so I thought I probably over did it with the tea tree oil. Since then I have been putting aloe on it, which relieves the itching temporarily. Now it has dried and faded somewhat in the center leaving the border red and looking like a giant ring with new redness, not as bright, growing around it. This is located just below my hip-bone on one side. I am really freaked out and don't know what to do??!! It's REALLY itchy!
Also, I am positive I have candida overgrowth in my intestines and have been trying to get control over that too. I take Barefoot's LBB and dewormer and I recently started drinking apple cider vinegar in water and have noticed what I think is a lot of the candida coming out in my feces.
Do you think I am experiencing some sort of healing crisis/die off?
Someone please help me!
