Ring worm for the last 6 years
My wife got a ringworm in 2018 on her cheek and it spread over different parts of the body over the years. Still the infection is there in the forehead, neck, back, thighs and legs. We consulted multiple dermatologists and skin specialists, and went under medications but the results only lasted for a few weeks. Tablets, soaps, creams and lotions everything is used but still the allergy is not completely gone. Due to this my wife is going under depression. Are there any blood or skin tests that identify the actual underlying problem? Please help guide us.
