Ringworm bite from the past 2 months
I have been having a ringworm mark on my right shoulder for the past 2 months. It has been increasing gradually everyday. I have been taking bilast m table daily and zocon 200 every alternate days. But the problem seems to be there still.

Heya young lady ..
While i am not disagreeing with your diagnosis of "ring worm", i must freely admit the pic is not of a great quality.
Secondly the shoulder is not a common site albeit use of OTC products like multipurpose creams containing steroids may well have 'masked' the orginal pattern and this could then be a condition we allude to as Tinea Incognito 🥸
Zocon (fluconazole) has developed a lot of resistance as far as fungal infections are concerned and would not be my first choice of antifungal and an antihistamine is just a temp solution.
