Lamisil definitely works the best. I had some Lotrimin that I used for a week on the first one I got, it did all of nothing. Lamisil gets rid of the worm in about 3-5 days average for me. I usually take a good week off of rolling though just to make sure I don't spread it to any of my teammates.

Absolutely. That's the exact situation that I was in. I haven't rolled there since I got my first ringworm rash. It was convenient to do some BJJ homework on but definitely not worth it.

For sure. I've been watching videos and I just want to get back on the mat and train again... this sucks.

It's not that simple... for me, there isn't a mop and pale anywhere in the gym that I know of. What am I supposed to do? Bring one in my car and hope the water doesn't spill out on the way?
