Worm

18 years ago the doctor said i had a ringworm in my head it was under the skin thus not visible from outside. It resulted in the loss of my hair on and around affected area. The problem has re-occured and i need help. I had been to my local clinic several times with no solution. I have used different types of creams with no solution. My main problem is that i can not afford to consult a doctor. ## Looking into the internet, I think I do have ring worms, Red circles on both my legs, no pain or itching but red spots every where. Can you advise me what to do, any medication for this?

Gave my chihuahua half of this pill, looking for more information on it. ## Hi mocha, Do you know what the name of this pill is that you gave your dog? Perhaps even a vague description of the pill itself? I was going to look up the brand for more information, but there are a wide variety of different treatment options for parasites.

Whats the directions to the medicine? Weight per pill ## @Boo, There's no way (at least that I know of) to look up veterinary drugs via their lot # on the package. It would seem to me that the lot numbers are only used for organization at the manufacturer's discretion during the drug making/packaging/inventory process but probably serve no other purpose. Do you have any other specific details to share about the pill's physical description, such as its shape, color, size, imprints, etc? I just think we'll need a little more information to accurately identify what type of worm pill this is and hopefully that'll help us research proper dosing protocols from there. Another option that may also be a good idea is to take your dog in to see a local vet who can prescribe an ...
