A member asked:
Is it true that ringworm can be treat with coconut oil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coconut oil has caprrylic acid which is a natural anti fungal. It also has Laurie acid and anti microbial lipids. I am not aware of any randomized controlled studies for validation. Using coconut oil is not a bad idea even if it does not cure ringworms. Hope it helps.
