I’ve had scabies twice, occasionally get boils, I now have ringworm on my hand, and when I don’t wash my face I break out. I am very sanitary honestly, and I am starting to become paranoid. Could there be any other type of connection? I am fair skin and very conscientious about my health (especially now). Thank you!

Also, if anyone knows, could you tell me the best way to treat the ringworm on my hand, all over the counter treatments (i.e. Lamisil) say to wash your hands after you apply the treatment, which kind of defeats the purpose.

    I can sympathize with you, my skin is one problem after another also! All the doctors I’ve been to told me it’s just my skin type. *People with fair skin are especially susceptible to skin problems. It took me a while, but now I know how to deal with it all. You’ll learn how to deal with it as you go along.

    By the way, you can use Lamisil for your ringworm on your hand. Just don’t wash that area after you apply it. It’s best to wash the area first, dry it thoroughly, then apply the Lamisil. Just rinse the finger you used to apply the Lamisil after. It’s fine. And I’ve found it’s best to apply it twice a day (once in the morning & once before bed.) It’ll probably take at least a week, or two more likely, before it heals completely.

    As for the boils, just this year I found something that helps prevent them from forming to begin with. After you shower, dry your skin thoroughly, and apply Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Dusting Powder. It works great! Other baby powders didn’t work nearly as well as this did for me. Just a tip. I wish you the best.
