Ringworm treated, appeared again

2017-11-22 19:22:35
I had been treated for ringworm on my cheek a month ago. A 5 day oral medicine and an ointment for at least 2 weeks was prescribed. But it has appeared again. Should i repeat the medicine or is there any better treatment to prevent recurring ringworm? Please help.

Recurrence of ringworm infections is common in our environmental conditions. It is advisable to go back to your doctor rather than repeating the same medicines.
