Though oral medications are widely used all over the world for treating people affected with ringworm, in many cases, it has proven to be ineffective and has lead to worsening of the fungal infections. Many people having ringworm tend to be allergic or unresponsive to oral medications or prescription medications. For such people, tea tree oil is often recommended for the treatment of ringworm. Tea tree oil has traditionally been used for the treatment of many types of bacterial infections but of late it has been found that it is highly effective in the treatment of various kinds of fungal infections as well.
In some cases, the use of tea tree oil has been preferred to the use of oral medications for treatment of ringworm. There are certain demerits of oral antifungal medications, which the use of tea tree oil takes care of. Oral antifungal medications tend to be quite expensive and are potentially toxic. In addition to this, these medications have to be taken for an extended and long time period and quite often lead to only temporary treatment, failing to eliminate the fungal infection totally. On the other hand, tea tree oil is cheap, effective and is relatively safe to use. It is a pain free method, involving no side effects and is a natural way to cure the fungal infection.
Light coatings of tea tree oil should be applied on to the affected area or areas about three or four times a day for two to three weeks until the fungal infection totally disappears. One major advantage of using tea tree oil is that its repeated usage is not hazardous in any way.
