Tea Tree Oil

This type of oil is extracted from the tea tree’s leaves, a native plant in Australia. It has long been used to fight all types of skin infections and injuries, such as bacterial and fungal. Many studies have shown that you can apply tea tree oil on your skin to alleviate ringworm, especially tinea pedis or athlete’s foot. Topical creams with this ingredient would also relieve the burning, itching, inflammation, and scaling. You should apply this oil three times each day in four consecutive weeks to ensure complete removal of ringworm rash.[2]
