Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I have what I think is ringworm in my arm pits. I first noticed it as a round red area (about the size of a nickle) under my right arm about 3 days ago. Don't know how long it has been there, but don't think long. It is in a crease of skin and seems to be lighter colored in the center. I looked up info on the internet about ringworm and the pictures and info looks similar to what I have. Then, this morning I noticed a couple of other spots starting under my left arm pit. None of this is itchy. I read that this can be caused by a low immune system. I take numerous antioxidants including: CoQ10, Vit C with minerals, B vitamins, selenium, a multi-mineral/vit pill, (also others) and 2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil/c.cheese every day, so I wouldn't think my immune system is low. I do sweat a lot at work, but have done so in the past without having a ringworm problem. However, I have a milk-protein allergy, but was told that if I could find some milk or cheese that was raw and not pasturized, I might be able to tolerate it. I did find some raw sharp unpasturized cheese a couple of weeks ago, and have been eating some of it. I haven't been having the usual allergy symptoms such as itchy eyes from eating the cheese so thought I was okay with it. Does anybody know if eating the raw sharp cheese could be a cause of the ringworm? I have never had ringworm before and was wondering if there might be a connection with eating the cheese. Thanks for any info on this. Donetta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
