Skin Infection

My sister is having a skin infection. It's reddish and circular in color and itchy.
I have uploaded the picture of the same and uploaded it on tinypic, so that you can have a clear view of the condition.

Looks like ringworm, which is a fungal infection and has nothing to do with worms.  Lotrimin cream or tea tree oil are treatments, but be sure you follow directions to get it cleared up.

It's great stuff, tea tree oil, other than the smell.  It's kind of like a clean turpentine smell, but I use it all the time.  It even cures nail fungus if you use it every day for a few months.

Hello Caryopteris,

Thanks for the help and again for the advice you gave. I think I never heard about the tea tree oil to be such a effective thing in fungal infections.
