Ringworm Infestation

2015-09-15 18:45:11
I have been infected by ringworm on the lower half of my body especially near the genitals. It keeps spreading, as in one disappers while another appears at a new place. I have been using a mixture of Efatop and Cosvate (50mg) and applying but no complete respite from the bacterial infection. Kindly advise.

You are doing a wrong thing by using a steroid in a very sensitive area which can give rise to a lot of side effects. First , meet a dermatologist and get it examined he will help you out.
