It is far better to go to your doctors for prescription treatment and anyway most of the prescription ingredients have natural ingredients in them.

Reply:Oh dear; please see a doctor. We do not all want it!





If not try something like tea tree oil. If it gets bigger or does not go away please see a proper doctor.





I am at least reassured to see that you know that despite its silly name it has nothing to do with worms! I saw an article in the Sunday Times which said "the worms don't like garlic" ..





Is it any wonder I'm not keen on "alternative medicine"
Reply:The fungal infection is in your blood system, foods that are able to remove the spores, or boost your immune, and antibodies. Vinegar, wine, beets, grains, but all in moderation. Stay away from sweets, soft drinks. Unsweet dark chocalate is also good. There is a salve made in germany, that will clear it up topographically, it may be under susciption only?
Reply:Rub a slice of freshly cut raw Papaya on the patch.





Make a powder with Mustard seeds. Add some water and make a paste. Apply on the patch till it clears up.
