it works!!! Comments By: anon on 2004-09-17 I couldn't believe how good this worked. I've been dealing with this sh-t for years - get rid of it - back it comes - then months later it finally goes after prescription creams or home remidies. I thought I had a regimen that worked with peroxide and then tea tree oil and a low carb diet. I realize now that it took months to get rid of it because it was just my body finding a way. It came back on my neck and I started treating it right away and IT STILL WAS SPREADING. So I went to the web, found your site and started the bleach treatment. It was almost completely gone in 2 days! It is obviously working. Slight burning when I put on the bleach but very manageable. Thank you a million times   ring worm Comments By: Anon on 2004-10-01 i dont know about all this... it burns a alittle ill write back and say how it goes...o wait it is burning alot   question Comments By: mark on 2004-11-02 Do you put the bleach on and leave it on for a couple of mins or do u wash it off fast?

Feels a little less itchy. I will try anything to make this stop!!!   It works well Comments By: Anon on 2005-01-16 After only one time it pretty much killed my ringworm, but I think I put on To much because it started to spread so I was trying to stop it, So I sort of burnt a portion of my face by using to much. Other wise it works great.   It works Comments By: Kay on 2005-01-24 I fought ringworms all through highschool. The kids I baby sat had them all the time, so I got them. I would put bleach on a bandaid and put it on there...I don't recommend this to anyone because it left a scar. But I so dislike the thought of a ringworm that I did it. It usually only took 3 days Max for it to be gone.you can rinse it off..but you have to leave it on there for at least a minute so it can start working.   let see and find out Comments By: TASHEEN on 2005-03-24 IVE BEEN PANICKING ABOUT RINGWORM ON MY FACE SO ILL TRY ANYTHING. BUT I HEARD THIS BLEACH THING REALLY WPORKS SO WE WILL SEE/ OH BY THE WAY HOW LONG DOES THE BLEACH HAVE TO STAY ON!!!!!!!!!!! TipKing says: As with all the tips, trial and error are the key, try a few seconds to start with and then wait a day. That way you can prevent any burning or allergic reactions   Red Spot Comments By: wtamu_cowgirl on 2005-04-21 I tried this bleachin treatment and now where i had put the bleach is all red... is that an allergic reaction or what?

Im embarrased of the scar I knew i should have never used bleach!!!:(   very happy with results Comments By: Andrea on 2006-07-01 i am the biggest skeptic there is i gota ringworm on my face by my chin. i was totally freaking out! i immediately got online and did research it is common sense when you look up what virus cause ring worm and then look at a bottle of clorox bleach and right there on the label it says that it kills that virus. well i ran to my bathroom and saturated a cotton swab with regular clorox bleach and put it on my ringworm. it does burn but it is not unbearable it feels like alcohol in a cut. within an hour it had shrunk by 50% i swear! the only thing is you need to keep applying abbout every 3 hours for the first two days because they are easily irratated and can come back so just keep applying and within two days it should be under control. you will have a scar but it will fade.   Bleach Does Work Comments By: Nurse Wanda on 2006-07-14 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 next >>>
