On the effect of glycolic acid on killing ringworm
Modern physicians have studied the ability of glycolic acid to kill ringworm. The ringworm often causes skin diseases, itching and pain, and disturbs people's peace.
Glycolic acid has unique characteristics. Its molecular structure is exquisite and can penetrate the layer of the skin. Where ringworm thrive, glycolic acid can contact the membrane of ringworm. The membrane is also the protection of ringworm, but glycolic acid can break its stability and cause damage to the membrane.
Looking at various experiments, the application of glycolic acid to the thing that stains ringworm shows the gradual change of the state of ringworm. At the beginning, the growth of ringworm slowed down slightly, and then its reproduction was blocked. Because glycolic acid enters the cells of ringworm, it disrupts the order of its metabolism. Metabolists are essential for the survival of ringworm bacteria. Once disordered, the vitality of ringworm bacteria gradually loses.
It has clinical experience. Glycolic acid is used to make a paste and apply it to the patient's ringworm. After a few days, the itching is slightly lighter and the dandruff is gradually less. After long-term use, the skin in the ringworm area gradually returns to normal. This is evidence that glycolic acid kills ringworm bacteria.
However, there are also doubts. It is said that although glycolic acid can kill ringworm bacteria, it may hurt normal skin. In fact, when an appropriate concentration is used to kill ringworm bacteria, the harm to normal skin is minimal.
In summary, glycolic acid is effective in killing ringworm bacteria, and it can be used as one of the methods for treating ringworm. When used, the concentration should be carefully selected to achieve the best effect and reduce its harm.
