Ringworm 7 years
I have this persistent ringworm on my hip.between hip partisan. I have done all medication n everything it doesn't want to go away. Well, ringworm on nose hand and inner genital, I got rid of medication and ointment but this small patch on my hip area doesn't want to go easily. It's a reoccurring one.
For 7 years it has become incurable. I tried everything from allopathic to homeopathy. From medicines to home remedies. Home remedies helped me a lot but it came again. As if my pretty lil hip is his janm sidhh adhikaar. I burnt the area with acid, baking soda, etc, etc. But it again came back.

You may be suffering from fungal infection of the inner thighs groin and buttocks area which we call tinea cruris. this is commonly referred as jock itch. It is easily treatable by taking 4 to 6 weeks of treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Wrong treatment with over the counter creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi 5, betnovate dermikem OC candid B, hh zole leads to severe side effects and also repeated recurrences. please do not use super body wash over the affected areas. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please contact me using online consultation for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread for the on your body and also to other people living in the household.
