Ring worm, cloben g
I got a ringworm on my face. My doctor friend said cloben g should be applied 3 times a day. I followed the treatment and it disappeared in about a week. I m still continueing with the treatment but it has appeared again at the same place but larger this time. What can be done for this problem? Is there any oral medicine i can take to kill the fungus?

You may be suffering from tinea which is fungal infection . It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like cloben g, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please call me or contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household. Using cloben g on face can cause serious and permanent damage to the skin
