I remember one time when in the Navy I got a small circular irritation that was identified as ring worm. I put Pink Ointment on it for some time and it went away.

I am wondering if Germolene is the same thing? By the way I found this Blog using Google. Thanks for your input.

The pink stuff is (rather confusingly) in the blue packaging and is called 'antiseptic ointment' rather than cream; I don't think they do the tins now though.
