Ringworm on genitals and nap of neck
I have been suffering from ringworm for 15 days now...two months ago i was diagnosed from the same problem on my genitals (including vagina and armpits) and i consulted a dermatologist nearby. He gave me "Itraconazole" capsules and allergy, itching tablets and antifungal tubes to apply. At first, the itching was gone and the mark became light, so i stopped the treatment. Again after 2 weeks the infection reoccurred, this time occurred on the nap of the neck too. I again consulted my dermatologist, he then gave me another itching tablets, Itraconazole capsules 200mg and antifungal tubes, it's been 15 days my itching is not gone, also the weather in my city is so warm - it's 45° to 47° . What could be the reason for itching? How long does it take to cure permanently? Please help, itching and burning is unbearable. 🥺

Do not stop the treatment before completion of full course . In 1 week fungus does not get completely eliminated from the skin .
Next Steps
Any family history of ringworms?
