I got it from working with the BILs calves 3 years ago. Noticed 2 red raised rings on my left arm. After self treating for 3 days it was spreading to my left ribcage area. Went to the VA clinic and the doc there recommended lamisil cream dosed liberally.
This stuff started on my left arm and after ten days and 20 tubes of lamisil I had it on both arms, my full torso, my neck, and down one leg to the knee.
On my 3rd trip to the VA clinic the doc prescribed 4 pills taken one week apart. Fluconazole, IIRC. It began clearing up the day after the first pill, and was gone in a week.
Before I went to the doc I tried iodine and sunlight. Never even slowed it down. Nothing to fool around with...

Only a theory, but if you alloy ringworms with lead you won't need a sinker when using them for fish bait, and they won't ring either.

Ivermectin will kill certain breeds of dogs.
I learned that here several year ago. It is also printed right on the Ivermax cattle pour on label.
The only ringworm I have been around is on feedlot calves, especially this time of year. Turning them out on green grass will clear it right up. Ivermax won't do anything, strictly a parasiticide.

The few times my mules have had it, I washed the area with Betadine soap w/rinse 3 times a day.Took care of it in about a week Fella...would you please add a link to "betadine soap" so I can see exactly what you are referring to, I have not seen it here. Please.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Tea Tree Oil. Ringworm is a fungus and tea tree oil is an anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial. It's readily found in a pharmacy and is effective and cost effective. Research it. We always keep a bottle of it in the house. This treatment is for if you get ringworm. Dogs and cats may not tolerate undiluted tea tree oil. I would do some research before applying it to your dog.
I just did a little research on tea tree oil for pets. It's not recommended unless it is very diluted. It's apparently toxic to pets but not for people. I usually dilute it with olive oil down to about 50% as this is less irritating and still quite effective.

It's strictly for parasites. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10311-003-0049-0 Nope, it cures ringworm just fine, a fungus. Many large animal vets will tell you the same thing on cattle on higher application rates. It's simply off-label use for ringworm. How it works I do not know, but that it does work is a guarantee and rather well-known for many years in farm/ranch country. Heck, I remember the cow vet using it on our dog back when I was kid, so we're talking at least three decades of knowing about it. Maybe it causes some other reaction in the animal that then results in getting rid of ringworm--bottom line is that the critter will be rid of their fungal infection, whether cow or dog. It works on cats with ringworm too, if anyone cares about them. Don't quote me, but I think the cat dose is 1/2 cc. If you give too large of a dose to a dog or cat, yes it will kill them.

I run nearly 10,000 head of bulls through the chute a year and many have ringworm that the owners are wanting to clear up. Ivomec does not kill ringworm. Like Sam said, it is a parasiticide. Kills worms and such. Does nothing for ringworm. The past few years most bulls are getting hit with Ivomec 2 to 3 times a winter as the louse are becoming more tolerant of it and yet there continues to be ringworm everywhere.

Well, it works around here on thousands of head of cattle, so maybe there is something else going on. Either different "species" of fungus that respond differently, or else it kills the parasite load so that the critters somehow have a different immune response to the ringworm itself. Also, are you "pouring" or doing "injectable?" I am only claiming that the injectable works against ringworm, and usually requires a higher off-label dose to do so.

I'm a mixed animal vet and can assure you ivermectin doesn't treat ringworm at any dose, and this is well documented. As others noted it is most likely mites, lice, mange, or other parasites if ivermectin cures the issue. As the article link I posted above shows ivermectin can actually make a fungus grown better...

If your animal is losing patches of hair, quite likely it's one of the forms of mange rather than ringworm. Mange is caused by a mite and can be cured with Ivermectin.
