Wash and dry your skin frequently. Keeping your skin clean is the best way to prevent a ringworm infection. Dark, warm areas of your body are the spots where the fungus can grow most easily, but a ringworm infection can occur almost anywhere on your body. Wash your entire body with soap and water every day, making sure to give attention to your feet, groin, and scalp. Change your socks and underwear daily. Physical activity in warm, humid weather or while wearing thick clothing in cold weather can increase the likelihood of an ringworm infection. Be sure to wash with soap and water after any physical activity that caused you to sweat heavily. Take particular care in keeping your feet clean and dry. Feet provide the perfect environment for fungus to grow. To avoid exposing yourself to ringworm, wear sandals in locker rooms and public showers. Further, keep your toenails cut short and clean them whenever you wash the rest of your body. If possible, wear footwear that allow your feet access to air, such as supportive sandals. Don’t share used personal items with others. Particularly if there is a chance someone may have ringworm, take care to avoid wearing anything that they’ve worn before it’s been properly cleaned. Know that the fungi that cause infections such as ringworm can remain on many different types of items, from hairbrushes to furniture. Be sure to wear socks when using rental items such as bowling shoes or skates. Avoid scratching or otherwise irritating ringworm infections, as this may spread the infection and can also lead to bacterial superinfection. Begin treatment as soon as possible. Regardless of the site or intensity of an infection or the age of the person infected, act immediately to treat the infection and prevent its spread Homoeopathy is wonderful in treating such chronic, repetitive complaints More details like your family history, past history, thermals, thirst, desires aversions, attitudes is required to make a prescription especially in a chronic case such as yours. Consult in private with the above details. More questions may be asked if required.

Pimples and oily face, The eruption of pimples, acne, black heads, black spots, scars, pores and oily face are due to excessive sebum secreted by sebaceous glands and hair follicles especially on the face. Precautions- * Don't scratch or pinch your pimples. This will cause more damage---causes scars, pores and black spots. * Avoid fried and oily foods. * Prefer fruits and green vegetables. * When you apply any cream, sun screen and the like, clean your face at the earliest, so that there will be no adverse action of the chemicals on the delicate skin of face. *For your information, many skin creams (mostly fairness cream brands) are considered harmful and banned by Central Govt, Health ministry during March, 2016. The Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists (IADVL) supported the ban. *Your skin ‘breaths’ through its pores which are not to be closed for long. Blocking pores by creams may cause more pimples. HOMOEOPATHIC medicines are taken internally. Hence, NO DIRECT CONTACT with your delicate and sensitive skin, thereby no problem of skin allergy .Homoeopathy has good treatment for your problem without causing adverse effects. The medicines work internally, tackle the root cause of the problem unlike face cream which is a surface treatment. Take Merc sol 200—once daily in the morning. For further treatment, consult privately . Acne riddance package for one month comprehensive treatment. Harmful fairness creams Did you know that most fairness creams have active ingredients like mercurous chloride, which acts as as a bleach and causes all the harm to your skin. Moreover, the high levels of steroids in fairness creams can cause sensitivity, redness and thinning of skin. Constant use of these fairness products can harm your skin and make your skin sensitive to light that cause blisters, sun burns and itchiness whenever you go out in the sun. Caution: fairness creams can only work to a certain extent. The fact is fairness products can only reduce tan and and restore the natural skin tone. Overuse of some skin-whitening products can also lead to severe skin damage. PIMPLES-An inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles of the skin that is marked by the eruption of pimples or pustules, especially on the face. A comedo is a clogged hair follicle (pore) in the skin.[1] Keratin (skin debris) combines with oil to block the follicle.[2] A comedo can be open (blackhead) or closed by skin (whitehead), and occur with or without acne.[2] The word comedo comes from Latin to suggest the worm-like look of a blackhead that has been secreted.[3] The plural of comedo is comedones.[3] The chronic inflammatory condition that usually includes both comedones and inflamed papules and pustules (pimples) is called acne.[2][4] Infection causes inflammation and the development of pus.[1] Whether or not a skin condition classifies as acne depends on the amount of comedones and infection.[4] Comedones should not be confused with sebaceous filaments. When the sebaceous glands in the skin produce excessive sebum (oil), the skin becomes excessively oily and you will develop acne, pimples, pores, white heads, and black heads. Oily skin can be caused by genetics, dietary choices, too much stress or hormone changes in the body, during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause and while taking birth control pills. Those who have this condition usually have shiny skin and large pores. Homoeopathy has good treatment for your problem without adverse effects.

Milk and cheese Soy milk—Nuts/pulses/ lentils/beans and green peas-all have proteins. As vegetarian, you can have all these items.

Proteins are required- * to build and repair muscle. * to revive fat-burning metabolism and reducing the hunger * to slow the release of carbohydrates into your bloodstream, which can prevent the sudden spikes in blood sugar that are thought to encourage fat storage and sagging energy levels. Next question is---How much protein from the food can be incorporated into proteins in the body. The point is --you may eat lots of proteins. Are sure all these proteins are absorbed into your body? If you have adequate physical exercise, your digestion and capacity to absorb the proteins into the system will greatly improve. Then only, the real benefit of taking proteins will come to you. Eating proteins is as important as vigorous exercise to absorb the protein. *Better to go for natural proteins than processed foods.

Needs close monitoring and review of prescriptions from time to time based on the response One of the reasons is wetness due to sweat in the area.

With homoeopathic treatment, it softens and pain reduces. Then it opens up on maturity and pus comes out on its own without any incision. It will heal thereafter. You may consult privately Over time, the area becomes firm, hard, and increasingly tender. Eventually, the center of the boil softens and becomes filled with infection-fighting white blood cells from the bloodstream to eradicate the infection. This collection of white blood cells, bacteria, and proteins is known as pus. Finally, the pus "forms a head, which can be surgically opened or may spontaneously drain out through the surface of the skin. Pus enclosed within tissue is referred to as an abscess. A boil is also referred to as a skin abscess. Boils can occur anywhere on the body, including the trunk, extremities, buttocks, or other areas. We have good homoeopathic treatment without adverse effects. The medicine acts internally, tackles the root of the problem. If the boil is about to form, it will subside. If it is fully formed, by taking the medicine it gets softened, opens up on its own without any need of puncturing. Pain and swelling will recede and gradual healing takes place. Scabies Scabies is an itchy skin condition caused by the microscopic mite Sarcoptes scabei. It is common all over the world, and can affect anyone. Scabies spreads quickly in crowded conditions where there is frequent skin-to-skin contact between people. Hospitals, child-care centers, and nursing homes are examples. Scabies can easily infect sex partners and other household members. Sharing clothes, towels, and bedding can sometimes spread scabies. This can happen much more easily when the infested person has crusted scabies. You cannot get scabies from a pet. Pets get a different mite infection called mange. Symptoms are •Pimple-like irritations or a rash •Intense itching, especially at night •Sores caused by scratching
