I have ring worm. Is there any lotion that I need to use to get rid of it? It has been there for years now and keeps going and coming back.

The treatment for ringworm or fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams and self treatment with cheaper medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Kindly send photos using online consult option for accurate diagnosis and treatment.  Treatment of other people in the household is also important as it may be chase of recurrence for you.
