Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard care. Standard care is what medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy and allied health professionals, such as registered nurses and physical therapists, practice. Alternative medicine means treatments that you use instead of standard ones. Complementary medicine means nonstandard treatments that you use along with standard ones.

Health Tip: Symptoms of Ringworm
The National Library of Medicine says ringworm usually appears as raised, red, scaly patches. They may blister or secrete fluid, may be itchy, and are usually surrounded by a brighter red edge that looks like a ring. If the fungus spreads to the hair, it may yield bald patches. Fungus on the nails may cause them to become thick and discolored, and to disintegrate.
Ringworm spreads in areas that are damp and warm. Highly contagious, it can be passed from person to person via direct skin contact or by sharing items like combs, towels, clothing, public showers, or pool surfaces. Pets, especially cats, may pass the fungus to people.
