[Problem] Ringworm [Advice] This is a quick rundown of the basic treatment. Soften scabs with oil, use almond oil, baby oil, cooking oil, mild olive oil ( No oils with strong smells). Brush off loose skin with toothbrush. Bathe in IMAVEROL solution every 3 or 4 days, for 4 baths.Also use one of the following over the counter anti fungals on the affected areas daily, Daktarin, Canestan, Tinaderm or Scholl athletes foot cream. We find that in many cases Tea Tree cream from a good health food shop or chemist works as well, if not better than traditional veterinary remedies. (see Hedgehog Research Pages for details)Using TEA TREE CREAM or an antifungal cream on face and ears is better for the hog than trying to wash it with Imaverol.We have found that using tea tree cream on the ears and face on alternate days, then dripping Imaverol onto the infected sites works as well as a full bath.Almost all hogs with severe mite infestation will have ringworm. It is always wise to treat for both. [Description] 
Very similar symptoms to Mange. The hog’s spines and fur fall out, starting on the face. Crusty lumps form on the skin, skin flakes, spines look pussy at base and bent, may have bleeding scabs
