Well, its been a couple of months, and I'm proud to say I survived the infection of ringworm. Ringworm is a fungus skin infection and has nothing to do with a worm. Its name is often a description of the infection in that red patches are often redder around the outside with normal skin tone in the center, in that it starts healing from the inside out and looks like a ring. Ringworm can be itchy, red, raised, scaly patches that may blister and ooze. It can also make you loose your hair. Fortunately mine was in the inside of my arm.

Well... everyone kept telling me to go to the doctor... And I hate doctors, and I couldn't see any reason to go. I diagnosed myself, and I knew what I needed to get rid of it... an antifungal cream. So I went to Wal-Mart and found 2... One for athletes foot, and one for jock itch.... I couldn't decide between the two, since they were pretty much the same, but the jock itch said extra strength, so I went with that... I applied that on it a lot... and it slowly got better. However another student gave me teatry oil cause she swore that works, so I applied some of that. Yet, pretty sure I found the real cure...
Its a fact that if you pee in the shower, it prevents athletes foot. Athletes foot is a fungal infection as well as ringworm, and antifungal creams treat both atheletes foot and ringworm, therfore urine prevents and treats ringworm.... That was the fastest cure.
This was a couple day after the outer ring began appear (after the first 2 weeks of the center patch of dry skin). The infection then got a litte wider, redder and more raised as the center dry patch healed. It did look pretty bad. For the most part the whole thing is gone, except a faint ring mark.... So I am keeping up with my cure aids to help finish getting rid of it. My classmates named it Hank, and that it was going to turn into the Hulk because it was exposed to radiation from taking radiographs. I did have a dream, however, that I did have a big patch of ringworm right on my forehead. . . That would have been awful. Hank wasn't too much of a bother to me.... In fact, I'm starting to miss him. He was always there for me and we did do everything together. We showered together, slept together, we even went shopping together and he never did complain about anything.
Did you seriously pee on Hank? I just can't imagine. I started to visualize the whole process of peeing on your upper arm and just had to stop myself! In any case...Good riddance Hank!!!
