I'm on Digest version of this list, and it's not easy to reply... but I learned about Gentian Violet when I was a kid, and it worked great for ringworm - mine was on my hand. I've since used it on cats when appropriate and it worked. I generally use Golden Seal tincture (from the health food store, about $8), as it works well and isn't purple. But have used Malaseb shampoo and it worked well. I don't use Grisiofulvin since it's systemic, unless it's a bad case of ringworm - has a Persian like that so did use the Grisiofulvin.
I read up on Advantage Multi a while back, and didn't like some of the reports of it - so I never use Advantage Multi.
