Can Selsum Blue Be Used To Get Rid Of Ringworm Infection?
Hi, I have ringworm and have been using a tolnaftate 1% antifungal cream for about a week now and it doesn t seem to be making much of a difference. My husband said that when his cousin got ringworm he used selsum blue and it was gone in a little over a week. Just wanted to know if this might be true or not and if so which selsum would be the best to use?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Selsum blue does have anti fungal properties and may help to treat your infection.
It is normally used once or twice a day.
Fungal infections can sometimes take 2 to 3 weeks to respond because they have a slow response time.
It is important to use any antifungal treatment consistently for this period of time.
I hope this helps
