Roundworm - left side of  face below ear

2017-09-27 12:29:40
I have a round worm on left side of face below the ear. It is increasing in size and causing itching and irritation. I'm applying clear gel on the affected area. It is providing temporary relief but not curing. Can anyone please advise what treatment is available to cure this? Also if it can be healed using any sort of medication?

Clean gel is not used for treating fungal infection or ringworm. It has also caused pigmentation. Please stop this self treatment. Please call me or contact using online consult option on Practo app for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
