To apply directly to?.... or are you going to eat lots of garlic?  Either way, garlic has no effect.  Sorry.

REST, fluids, vicks, a vaporizor w/ vicks in it, fluids, rest and did I mention fluids?  \n\nAnother thing I love using when I get sick is garlic.  I take a garlic clove and slice it into pill size slivers and swallow like a pill.  That backed up w/ Vitamin C and zinc and you should be back on your feet in no time.  The garlic kills the virus and the vitamin c and zinc boost your immunities.

Hi there, try these out.\n\nNatural Therapies\n\n\nAndrographis & Garlic are herbs which can help heal minor infections, you can mince the garlic and soak your fingers in it.\n\nBoosting your immunity with Echinacea during winter or when you are run-down is also a good idea; an antioxidant supplement containing vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium will also be beneficial for your immune system\n\nThe topical use of products containing Tea tree oil can help heal skin infections such as acne, bacterial and fungal infections.\n\nA warm bath containing Tea Tree Oil, minced Garlic and echinacea will help as well.\n\nHope this has helped.\n\nCraig - Naturopath.

garlic and horseradish are good for this.  That is why they also come in a vitamin tablet usually combined with vitamin C and echinacia specifically for U.R.T.H.\n\nUpper Respiratory Tract Health\n\n\nGood luck\n\nJimmy

NEVER use Gold Bond  its not good. You can try an over the counter product like Monistat that usually starts to help afer a day. Yogurt is good to prevent a yeast infection if you eat it every day but im not too sure it would be if you already have one. Good Luck

Yes! Buy a bottle of garlic oil capsules. Take one and roll it around in your hand for a minute to melt the jelly-like oil. Pierce the end of it with a sterile needle, and squeeze the oil into the ear. Work it down good, and put a cotton plug in the ear. Garlic is a natural antibiotic. I've done this with my own 2 year old who had so many ear infections, she had to take antibiotics for 2 months straight once. The garlic oil method cured the ear infection in 2 days (done every 4 hours) Her pediatrician confirmed that it was gone too.\n\nThe sweet oil is good, but I've had better results with garlic oil. If you want sweet oil, it's at Wal-Mart in the wound care section. It's a 2 ounce bottle, and the label says "Humco Sweet Oil N. F." The bottle is brown, and the lable is a lilac color.\n\nEdit note: Honey, tobacco smoke can CAUSE ear infections in kids. It is not safe to blow it in the ears.

I read recently a similar description from someone who said that it all cleared up after his wife started serving them thin sliced onions with a little salad vinegar 2-3 times a week and adding fresh garlic to soups and stews.  This might sound a little strange until you consider that the onions, garlic and vinegar are all naturally anti-biotic.  In World War I and II military doctors used garlic juice as an anti-biotic (with terrific results) when other anti-biotics were not available.  They knew to do this from study of history.  It has been used thusly for centuries.\n\n"Let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food."\n---Hippocrates 400 BC

Why don't you consider one of the following:\n\nChicken Pox treatment using Brown Vinegar\nThe use of brown vinegar is one of the most important among the several home remedies found beneficial in the treatment of chicken pox. Half a cup of this vinegar should be added to a bath of warm water. This will relieve the irritation of the skin. \n\nChicken Pox treatment using Oatmeal\nA bath of oatmeal is considered a natural remedy for relieving the itch due to chicken pox. This bath is prepared by cooking two cups of oatmeal in two liters of water for fifteen minutes. This mixture is then put into a cloth bag, preferably cotton, and a string is tied tightly around the top. This bag is allowed to float in a tub of warm water, and swished around until the water becomes turbid. Precaution should be taken to ensure that the bag is not torn. The child with chicken pox can splash and play in the water, making sure that water goes over all the scalds, while the pouch of oatmeal can remain in the tub . \n\nChicken Pox treatment using Pea Water\nGreen pea water is another effective remedy for relieving irritation of the skin. The water in which fresh peas have been cooked can be used for this purpose. \n\nChicken Pox treatment using Baking Soda\nBaking soda is a popular remedy to control the itching in chicken pox. Some baking soda should be put in a glass of water. The child should be sponged with this water, so that the soda dries on the skin. This will keep the child away from scratching the eruptions. \n\nChicken Pox treatment using Vitamin E Oil\nThe use of vitamin E oil is valuable in chicken pox. This oil should be rubbed on the skin. It will have a healing effect. The marks left by chicken pox will fade away by this application. \n\nChicken Pox treatment using Honey\nThe use of honey as an external application has also proved valuable in chicken pox. The skin should be smeared with honey. It will help in the healing of the disease within three days. \n\nChicken Pox treatment using Carrot and Coriander\nA soup prepared from carrots and coriander has been found beneficial in the treatment of chicken pox. About 100 gm of carrots and 60 gm of fresh coriander should be cut into small pieces and boiled for a while. The residue should be discarded. This soup should be taken once a day \n\nChicken Pox treatment using Herbal Tea\nA mild sedative herbal tea can also prove beneficial in the treatment of chicken pox. This tea can be prepared from any of the herbs like chamomile (babunah), basil (tulsi), marigold (zergul) and lemon balm (billilotan). A little cinnamon (dalchini), honey, and lemon may be added to this tea. 1t should be sipped slowly several times a day. \n\nRegards,\n\nSaad Al Sogair, MD

Do not say ew. Because guess what. #1, it's under "women's health." If you're a woman, chances are you'll get one someday. If you're a man, guess what? Men can get them too. Anywhere. Yes, I mean ANYWHERE. People do not go online to be ostracized, please just do us all a favor and STOP wasting your time. \n\nI would agree with the other posters that say you should go to a doctor first. The first time you have a yeast infection it is important to get it checked because it could be a sign of something more serious that NEEDS to be treated, like BV (bacterial vaginosis). \n\nIf you do not have medical insurance, you can visit a Planned Parenthood (www.plannedparenthood.org) where you will have access to a huge range of women's health services. They can also give you medication for free. \n\nIf you do not treat your infection it can spread. Also, itching it spreads the infection. If you can't get to a doctor quickly, then buy a home treatment--and get one that includes the topical cream that will stop the pain. Good luck.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molluscum_contagiosum\n\nNo mention of toilet seat contamination. Seems to be a sexually transmitted disease.\n\nSpreads to other areas of the body, that could be a whole 'nother issue!

There is no cure for hidradentis suppurativa, I am sure that you know that. My daughter has this condition and I do know what you are going through. I cam across this website about Colloidal Silver http://www.utopiasilver.com/testimonials/hidradenitis.htm\nI have no idea if it works but if you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will se several tesimonals about this product.\nThe only other things that you can do is to try and dry out the area, sometimes my daughter buts dial soap on a the area and just leaves it there to dry. Grapefruit seed oil, that can be obtained from your local health food store also helps when applied to the area, it brings it to a head pretty fast.\nIf the spot gets really red and inflamed see your doctor and get anitbiotics. I hope someday that they come up with a cure for this, it really is a painful thing to live with...\n    Good luck!!

See a doctor for some med's.  It's contagious.  I would not use that razor on my underarms, or even on legs that don't show ringworm.

Garlic tabs and CLA.  Garlic is fairly cheap, so I would go that route.  It also boosts immune system, its great!

Hey AL\n\nHere are some remedies.\n\nCause \nWarts and moles are usually the result of a nutritional deficiency and they should be treated internally, as well as externally. \nPotassium deficiency. \n\n1.General Information for Warts and Moles: The warts, moles and skin blemishes are helped externally and are often cleared up by using the white milk from dandelions and/or from milkweed. Applying castor oil or garlic oil to the area several times a day and taping a piece of gauze soaked with this oil over the wart during the night will aid in clearing the condition. The use of a clove of garlic cut in half (or mashed or grated) and kept over the wart all night until it is gone has aided many. Black walnut tincture and the following combination tincture have been used with such success that a number of people swear by them. The combination tinctures consists of blue vervain, black cohosh, blue cohosh, skullcap and lobelia herbs in equal parts, using 90 proof or stronger alcohol as a base. \n\n2.More General Information for Warts and Moles: Use the mucusless diet and add plenty of raw carrots, kelp, dulse, or sea weed and onions to the diet. \n\n\n3.Garlic for Warts and Moles: Here is a very successful routine for removal of these unwanted growths called moles, or warts. Take a button of garlic, slice or cut in two, and placed the cup area over a wart of mole. Tape it on, and as it dries out put a fresh piece. Many users have reported good results. \n\n4.Potassium Deficiency for Warts and Moles: When cysts or tumors grow in places where they can be seen outside the body, often we react by having them cut out. This defeats healing by working on the effect instead of the cause. You can cut cysts out, tumors off, and burn warts off (which are also a potassium deficiency), or get rid of as many moles as you wish, but unless you go to the cause, they will grow back again, and you may end up with as many or more cysts, tumors, moles as before. Different signs of potassium deficiency will keep popping out on the body because the condition that needs correcting is on the inside. You have to go into the cause, Dr. Christopher always insisted, which is the way we have been eating.Potassium sources: There are several ways to receive your potassium. Dr. Bernard Jensen sells a potassium broth made from dehydrated vegetables. Dr. Bronner makes a similar, excellent product. You can also make your own potassium broth by simmering equal parts of red potatoes, celery, carrots, onions, and herbs to taste. Raw vegetable and fruit juices also flood the system with potassium. \n\nBest of health to you
