How can i treat ringworm on my eyelids? i've been using coconut oil, but it melts into my eyes causing blurry vision.

Vinegar: Carefully dab vinegar (acetic acid) on the eyelid. Be VERY careful with this, not to get any in your eye. Vinegar is a great anti-fungal.

Use real Rx: I suggest you get with your physician if you think you have a fungal infection near your eyes. I'm very sorry someone told you to use coconut oil. It was a bad idea. A topical antifungal agent may clear you; tolnaftate might be one to try if you can't get seen right away.

See your eye doctor: Coconut oil is good for many things, but one thing to keep in mind is not using it around the eyelids.There are specific eye ointments/creams that can be prescribed to help u that will be less bothersome than melting & causing blurred vision for you. So, see ur eye doctor soon, and get this taken care of. Ringworm of the eyelids is rare, and you want to first make sure U have the right diagnosis.
