I don't like taking any kind of prescribed meds unless I have to.  Tea tree oil will take away ringworm as it gets rid of the fungus which causes it.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

Ringworm is a bacteria, and it isn't nessesarily from bad hygiene. Wrslers get it a lot from the mats. It itches, and it forms the shape of a ring on your skin like a rash. It continues to grow if you don't treat it. All you have to do is buy some Lamisil at ANY store. Read the directions, rub it on, and it goes away in a couple a days or so. Depending on how long you let it go for. Anyway, Lamisil is an ointment, it's also used for athletes foot, and jock itch!

The liver is the only organ(besides your skin) that is able to regenerate after injury or illness.  God designed it so, as it has the primary function of cleansing the blood.  It also produces bile for digestion of intestinal waste.  Bile is usually dark green to blackish in color..hence, the dark red appearance  The liver also makes good and bad cholesterol..so harming your liver is bad..and detoxifying it through healthful eating habits is good.  When the liver is ill, a person or animal will become jaundice, having a yellowish cast to skin and the white part of the eyes..also, in extreme liver disease, the abdomen will become distended..as the the toxins are not leaving the body and fluid builds up in the abdomen.

Some studies have linked oral contraceptives with an increased risk of developing hepatomas (a benign liver growth).  Typically, these are not considered life-threatening, but it is always a wise decision to consult with your primary care physician.

Just about NO topical treatment will be successful. Lamisol pills for 3 months...have your liver checked out monthly if you go on this med. Good luck.

A lot of fatty or greasy foods are bad because they are broken down in the liver before going to the gallbladder. Follow your doctors recommendation's for diet, which is probably NO ALCOHOL, eat balanced proportioned meals. Ask your DR. what he thinks about using Milk Thistle as a supplement to your diet. It is a plant/herb that is a good cleanser for the liver as well as promotes healthy liver funtion. It can make you sick when first taking it tho as it is cleansing your liver of toxins (that are making you sick).Check with your doctor first as it may not be appropriate in your specific situation.

Only topical antifungal preparations are used to treat ringworm.  The cream must have miconazole or clotrimazole in it. Brand names include Micatin, Tinactin, Monistat, and Lotrimin. Terbinafine cream (Lamisil) is also available without a prescription. If symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks, call your doctor. \nHydrocortisone is only helpful for allergies and inflammation.

Unless you already have liver disease I doubt very much that this low dose would ever harm your liver. However, a simple blood test will tell you for sure.

Well, there are quite a few but remember your doctor is the best judge of that.  Ask him/her to run a liver panel on you if you are concerned.  Takes about five minutes and is the best approach.\n\nFirst off, I would look at things I'm doing that could cause liver disfunction - drinking alchol, medications, not enough exercise, etc... but some symptoms are:\n\nSome common liver disease symptoms include the following, each of which are described briefly below:\n\njaundice \ncholestasis \nliver enlargement \nportal hypertension \nascites \nliver encephalopathy \nliver failure \nWhat is jaundice?\nJaundice is a yellow discoloration of the skin and eye whites due to abnormally high levels of bilirubin (bile pigment) in the bloodstream. Urine is usually dark because of the bilirubin excreted through the kidneys. High levels of bilirubin may be attributed to inflammation or other abnormalities of the liver cells or blockage of the bile ducts. Sometimes jaundice is caused by the breakdown of a large number of red blood cells, which can occur in newborns. Jaundice is usually the first sign, and sometimes the only sign, of liver disease.\n\nWhat is cholestasis?\nCholestasis is reduced or stopped bile flow. Bile flow may be blocked inside or outside the liver. Symptoms may include:\n\njaundice \ndark urine \npale stool \nbone loss \neasy bleeding \nitching \nsmall, spider-like blood vessels visible in the skin \nenlarged spleen \nfluid in the abdominal cavity \nchills \npain from the biliary tract or pancrea \nenlarged gallbladder \nSome causes of cholestasis include:\n\nhepatitis \nalcoholic liver disease \nprimary biliary cirrhosis \ndrug effects \nhormonal changes during pregnancy \na stone in the bile duct \nbile duct narrowing \nbile duct cancer \npancreatic cancer \ninflammation of the pancreas \nWhat is liver enlargement?\nLiver enlargement is usually an indicator of liver disease, although there are usually no symptoms associated with a slightly enlarged liver (hepatomegaly). Symptoms of a grossly enlarged liver include abdominal discomfort or "feeling full."\n\nWhat is portal hypertension?\nPortal hypertension is abnormally high blood pressure in the portal vein, which supplies the liver with blood from the intestine. Portal hypertension may be due to increased blood pressure in the portal blood vessels or resistance to blood flow through the liver. Portal hypertension can lead to the growth of collateral vessels that connect to the general circulation, bypassing the liver. When this occurs, substances that are normally removed by the liver pass into the general circulation. Symptoms of portal hypertension may include:\n\na distended abdominal cavity (ascites) \nbleeding of the varicose veins at the lower end of the esophagus and in the stomach lining \nWhat is ascites?\nAscites is fluid build-up in the abdominal cavity, caused by fluid leaks from the surface of the liver and intestine. Ascites due to liver disease usually accompanies other liver disease characteristics such as portal hypertension. Symptoms of ascites may include a distended abdominal cavity, which causes discomfort and shortness of breath. Causes of ascites may include:\n\nliver cirrhosis (especially cirrhosis caused by alcoholism) \nalcoholic hepatitis \nchronic hepatitis \nobstruction of the hepatic vein \nAscites can also be caused by non-liver disorders.\n\nWhat is liver encephalopathy?\nLiver encephalopathy is the deterioration of brain function due to toxic substances building up in the blood, which are normally removed by the liver. Liver encephalopathy is also called portal-systemic encephalopathy, hepatic encephalopathy, or hepatic coma. Symptoms may include:\n\nimpaired consciousness \nchanges in logical thinking, personality, and behavior \nmood changes \nimpaired judgement \ndrowsiness \nconfusion \nsluggish speech and movement \ndisorientation \nloss of consciousness \ncoma \nWhat is liver failure?\nLiver failure is severe deteriorat

Ringworm is a contagious fungus infection that can affect the scalp, the body, the feet (athlete's foot), or the nails.\n\nPeople can get Ringworm from: 1) direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or pet, 2) indirect contact with an object or surface that an infected person or pet has touched, or 3) rarely, by contact with soil. \nRingworm can be treated with fungus-killing medicine. \nTo prevent Ringworm, 1) make sure all infected persons and pets get appropriate treatment, 2) avoid contact with infected persons and pets, 3) do not share personal items, and 4) keep common-use areas clean. \n \n\n What is Ringworm?\n\nRingworm is a contagious fungus infection that can affect the scalp, the body (particularly the groin), the feet, and the nails. Despite its name, it has nothing to do with worms. The name comes from the characteristic red ring that can appear on an infected person's skin. Ringworm is also called Tinea.\n\n \n\nWhat is the infectious agent that causes Ringworm?\n\nRingworm is caused by several different fungus organisms that all belong to a group called "Dermatophytes." Different Dermatophytes affect different parts of the body and cause the various types of Ringworm:\n\nRingworm of the scalp \nRingworm of the body \nRingworm of the foot (athlete's foot) \nRingworm of the nails \n \n\nWhere is Ringworm found?\n\nRingworm is widespread around the world and in the United States. The fungus that causes scalp Ringworm lives in humans and animals. The fungus that causes Ringworm of the body lives in humans, animals, and soil. The fungi that cause Ringworm of the foot and Ringworm of the nails live only in humans.\n\n \n\nHow do people get Ringworm?\n\nRingworm is spread by either direct or indirect contact. People can get Ringworm by direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or pet. People can also get Ringworm indirectly by contact with objects or surfaces that an infected person or pet has touched, such as hats, combs, brushes, bed linens, stuffed animals, telephones, gym mats, and shower stalls. In rare cases Ringworm can be spread by contact with soil.\n\n \n\nWhat are the signs and symptoms of Ringworm?\n\nRingworm of the scalp usually begins as a small pimple that becomes larger, leaving scaly patches of temporary baldness. Infected hairs become brittle and break off easily. Yellowish crusty areas sometimes develop.\n\nRingworm of the body shows up as a flat, round patch anywhere on the skin except for the scalp and feet. The groin is a common area of infection (groin Ringworm). As the rash gradually expands, its center clears to produce a ring. More than one patch might appear, and the patches can overlap. The area is sometimes itchy.\n\nRingworm of the foot is also called athlete's foot. It appears as a scaling or cracking of the skin, especially between the toes.\n\nRingworm of the nails causes the affected nails to become thicker, discolored, and brittle, or to become chalky and disintegrate.\n\n \n\nHow soon after exposure do symptoms appear?\n\nScalp Ringworm usually appears 10 to 14 days after contact, and Ringworm of the skin 4 to 10 days after contact. The time between exposure and symptoms isnot known for the other types of Ringworm.\n\n \n\nHow is Ringworm diagnosed?\n\nA health-care provider can diagnose Ringworm by examining the site of infection with special tests.\n\n \n\nWho is at risk for Ringworm?\n\nAnyone can get Ringworm. Scalp Ringworm often strikes young children; outbreaks have been recognized in schools, day-care centers, and infant nurseries. School athletes are at risk for scalp Ringworm, Ringworm of the body, and foot Ringworm; there have been outbreaks among high school wrestling teams. Children with young pets are at increased risk for Ringworm of the body.\n\n \n\nWhat is the treatment for Ringworm?\n\nRingworm can be treated with fungus-killing medicine. The medicine can be in taken in tablet or liquid form by mouth or as a cream appl

Yes, it can kill you. It depends on your body weight, metabolism, and the number of pills, but people will go into liver failure and die from overdosing on those pills.

Ringworm probably.  It's really common in children, especially that take baths.  It wont be too serious unless you don't get it treated.  Call a doctor and get an appointment to get a diagnosis and he/she will get an RX for you.

If you go to your local health food store you may find a product called milk thistle (either as a tablet or in liquid form) and that is supposed to help improve liver conditions.

Before you get a prescription, (ALL of which have side effects, so you eventually need ANOTHER prescription.... which ends up causing liver damage) try these things:\n\n1. Exercise!  I know you don't feel like it.  But grab your ipod, put on your tennies, and go for a walk.\n\n2. B12! A lot of depression and lack of energy can be alleviated with this one supplement.\n\n3. Amino Acids!  Very good for depression, especially Choline.\n\n4. St. John's Wort!  There's a reason docs tell you not to take this with anti-depressants.  It works as an anti-depressant!

Here are three - the AHA one is the best of them, in my opinion.... Beware "statin" drugs...they can cause irrevocable damage to your liver.....Just bare that in mind.   :O)   Good luck\n\nhttp://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=1516\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cholesterol.html\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/diseases_and_conditions/cholesterol.htm

-Limit alcohol consumption\n-Avoid potential exposure to the hepatitis virus (if you think you may have one, you should get tested as they can be undetected in the body and show no symptoms; you can also get a vaccine against hepatitis B)\n-healthy diet\n-exercise\n-if you work around chemicals linked to liver cancer, follow safety guidelines to avoid unnecessary contact\n-before taking iron supplements, ask a doctor if you really need them\n-don't use anabolic steroids unless they're medically necessary\n-maintain a normal weight (obesity is a big risk factor in getting what is called fatty liver disease)\n-ask your doctor about any medications and herbal drugs you're taking... some herbs that are dangerous to your liver could be kava, comfrey, germander, borage, and chaparral\n\nNote: I've also heard that taking Milk Thistle is very good for the liver. You can buy capsules at a vitamin store or probably even just the supermarket. Look into it!
