I want to ask about recovery time
I have tinea ( ring worms) from last 2years, I used some steroid creams due to which I got really bad stretch marks on my inner thighs.
Now I'm on oral medication from 3weeks which helps me to recover from tinea but I think bacterias are still inside skin.
How much time it will required to completely recover from tinea??
And also I'm using stretch mark cream (sterdee)
Also tell me how much time required to reduce stretch marks??

Stretch marks indicate a permanent damage to skin and less likely they improve
Steroid applied fungal infection relapses very frequently
It is pushed into roots of the hairs
So relapses depend upon the hair growth
If hair regrowth happens without infection u may get relief
Next Steps
consult a dermatologist
