Terbinafine is what you want for ringworm. Try reducing your carb consumption and alcohol intake if you are prone to getting ringworm. Try using spats under your shorts add use long sleeve tops to reduce the amount of exposed skin. Wash your equipment regularly. Shower as quickly as you can after training. And wear shoes off the mat.

[@OneOfDaKine82]

You’re correct. Good bacteria foods are great too with fasting

[@Fredrikbb]

Yeah i think i'll skip the broscience dietary advice.

[@StanleyPinchak]

@@Fredrikbb Take it or leave it. Better ignore the Bro science of covering your skin too. Just anecdotal nonsense.

[@ayske1]

Staph is common in young kids as well. Think I got it off my daughter the first time We never share towels now amongst the family

[@July-A7]

One shouldn't share towels in the first place. It's a matter of personal hygiene. Tooth brashes, combs, towels, slippers, underware, any clothes and shoes actually...

[@codymarandola3164]

This is why a clean dojo is a happy dojo!! I use dollamur mat cleaner. Works great!!

[@buxboi5308]

Are your employees (staff) really that bad?

[@FR-ty5vn]

I wear long pants and long sleeves in No Gi and prefer to wear a Gi in Gi 😂 - after every class I take an Epsom salt bath (for muscles/joints) and wash all exposed skin with tea tree oil body wash and my hair with head and shoulders shampoo - supposed to kill fungus and bacteria.

[@Yaheard32]

Dial soap is also really good. It’s antibacterial

[@FR-ty5vn]

@@Yaheard32 Nice 👍🏼 - cheap, too - I found a good tea tree oil body soap that doesn’t dry your skin and kills most everything…good price for tea tree oil, but Dial has to be cheapest.

[@JOPEYDOPE]

All soap is antibacterial, soap breaks down proteins in bacteria and destroys them

[@johnt2831]

Can I avoid ringworm and staff infections by wearing tights to protect my arms and legs?

[@guidomista8448]

No, sadly that might be worse because it will absorb the sweat of your rolling partner and cause it to stay in contact with your skin, making it more likely to get infected. Then on top of that it will stay there, so if you get ringworm, cure it, then go to put that thing on again, you will just reinfect yourself.

[@johnt2831]

@@ironadversity2500 Just couldn't help yourself huh. Yeah, well, I am clean so I have never had those type of things

[@RonniiV]

It will help you from getting infected from others, but the damp environment from the trapped humidity could contribute to such growths. So be sure to still wash and change quickly.

[@johnt2831]

@@RonniiV Thank You for your advice, I truly appreciate it. For me, as to cleaning right away, I am a person who takes a shower twice a day, sometimes 3 times in a day depending. I would wash my Gi, after every use because of the amount of sweat in it after one use. The mats should also be cleaned every time they are used as well. Take care, keep training. God Bless Oss!!!!

[@MMAELO]

Remember, it might not be staph but herpes. Go to a dermatologist to get it checked, as a regular physician may miss it. The treatment for both are different. And yes you can get herpes from the mats.

[@hoodieboi2324]

Don’t tell me that 😔

[@MMAELO]

@@hoodieboi2324 it's better I tell you and you get the proper treatment than going to a general physician who misdiagnoses it as staph and you take medication that has no impact (and it keeps reoccurring).

[@Global_Hype1]

This videos comes at the perfect time. Thank you! I didn't knew what that ringworm comes from. 🥋

[@PhysiKarlz]

These* videos. Didn't know*. Ringworm is a contact disease. Any animal can carry it and it can survive for a bit of time on surfaces.

[@gavinalvarez7272]

Shower directly after training with anti bacterial and anti fungal soaps n u will have significantly less chances of getting it.

[@abdulhamidketchman8599]

Literally right after I saw this video. I did my first no go class. And now I have pimples popping up everywhere for a few weeks now. Especially on my knees. I guess I have to get some antibiotics. Are there any home remedies? Can you do a full video about this topic and what to do?

[@sabageimsyt6192]

from my personal experience. if its first time, dont be like me. go to doctor, you dont know what medicine and treatment it actually needs. plus it can be come very very serious. it might end ur fucking career, god forbid

[@docktorcactusb9770]

I have question. I had staph and i took antibiotics and got healed. But i still have ”scars” which are red/gray and does not have any puss or nuthing nasty. What should i do? And is it okay to train

[@justindankert7725]

you can train

[@docktorcactusb9770]

@@justindankert7725 Aight thanks

[@gavinalvarez7272]

Yes that is normal for skin infections

[@adamturowski3765]

Go see the doctor and ask him that question. Asking some randos in You Tube for medical advice is usually a bad idea.

[@docktorcactusb9770]

@@adamturowski3765 ok thanks

[@vernonmccarty8480]

Good to know. I had no idea

[@rvrrb]

for a skin infection, wash twice a day with a rag and hard soap. for tinea corporis use nystatin lotion, lotrimin doesn't work at all.

[@StanleyPinchak]

I swear by terbinifine, but since I cut alcohol and reduced my carb intake I haven't needed it. Terbinifine showed results in a day or two, tops.

[@Richerrr-g6g]

I trained for 3-4 months never got anything stopped training and I’ve been out of the gym for 7 months got ringworm, how? for the life of me I can’t figure that out

[@aidenmarshall6478]

It isn’t a jiu jitsu specific infection. The mats are just a place where it thrives

[@Richerrr-g6g]

@@aidenmarshall6478 ik im saying it’s ironic that I’ve been out for the gym for months and have never had any issue with my skin and randomly got it

[@StanleyPinchak]

The spores can live a long time in equipment and clothes. Is it possible you had spores in a winter comforter or something like that?

Staph*, not staff.

Makes it harder😈

[@Henry-sj1kl]

@@gavinalvarez7272 I did research on it. It actually higher chance of infection due to sweats. Also my buddy who is a physical therapist told me that is worse to train in the heat.
