Ringworm or something?
I am attaching a pic of one rash. It's been there for 60 days. I have used medication for 45 days. It is not at all curing. The doctor said it's a tinea corporis other homeopathy doctor said it's a Ringworm. Though I am taking both alopathy and homeopathy it is not at all curing. I have used iterconazole tablets soap and Dustin powder with liloconazole cream along with it homeopathy medicine also. I have done a sugar test which is normal and a cholesterol test which is normal but has an lld cholesterol elevated value. May I know the reason why it is not curing. ? Is it any disease? Related to cancer or early signs of hiv. I have this Ringworm across other parts also like in groin, underarm, chest, stomach area, thighs etc. Please help me with it. Also suggest any medicines or natural remedies.

Actually it is Tinea corporis a fungal infection.... Tinea is simple terms called ringworm....
In Ayurveda, it is Dadru kushta .... It is kapha predominant vyadhi.... Which spreads all over the body, circular patches along with itching will be present....
So... Medications like mahatiktaka gritham, Panchatiktaka gritham, Vajraka Gritham, Panchatiktaka guggulu, ekavimshatika guggulu, avipattikara churnam etc., will help to reduce ur condition....
Panchakarma therapies like snehana, swedana, vamana, Virechana, basti, nasya etc., will help to detoxify or kill the infection present in your body...
Caution: Please take consultation and use proper medication according to ur Prakriti (Body constitution), Agni (Metabolic fire), Sleep (Nidra), Bowel etc., which help ayurveda doctor to evaluate the Prakritika doshas and Vikruta doshas in your body.... And that helps you for proper prescription of medicines...

Persistent fungal-looking rashes for 60 days despite treatment need re-evaluation rather than changing medicines repeatedly. This does not necessarily indicate cancer or HIV, although recurrent or extensive fungal infections warrant proper assessment if risk factors are present. A fungal scraping (KOH test) or dermatologist review may be needed to confirm the diagnosis and rule out resistant fungal infection or conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Avoid self-medicating with multiple systems together. Please consult me with your images and reports so I can assess the condition and guide the appropriate treatment.

According to Ayurveda, recurrent fungal infections may be associated with imbalances in the body's internal environment. Through appropriate medicines, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications, we aim not only to control the infection but also to reduce the tendency for recurrence. A consultation will help determine the most suitable treatment approach for your condition.
Next Steps
Fungal infections in the groin area often persist or recur if not treated properly. A timely consultation can help identify the underlying factors and provide effective treatment to relieve symptoms, clear the infection, and prevent future recurrences.
Health Tips
Maintain personal hygiene and wear clean washed and properly dried clothes. avoid wearing tight clothes.

A rash that has been present for about 60 days, especially when it is affecting multiple areas such as the groin, underarms, chest, abdomen, and thighs, is most commonly suggestive of a persistent fungal skin infection (tinea/ringworm). The fact that it has not responded completely despite treatment does not automatically mean cancer or HIV.
There are several reasons why fungal infections may persist:
Reinfection from clothing, towels, bedsheets, or close contacts.
Incomplete resolution despite temporary improvement.
Excessive sweating, humidity, and friction in skin folds.
Irregular treatment or stopping treatment too early.
Incorrect diagnosis, where another skin condition may mimic fungal infection.
Simultaneous use of multiple remedies without reassessment of the diagnosis.
An elevated LDL cholesterol level would not typically explain persistent ringworm. Likewise, ringworm by itself is not considered an early sign of cancer. While recurrent or extensive fungal infections can sometimes be seen in individuals with reduced immunity, the presence of ringworm alone does not indicate HIV infection.
Next Steps
Since the rash has persisted despite prolonged treatment and is present at multiple body sites, the most important step now is re-evaluation of the diagnosis rather than repeatedly trying new remedies. Some skin conditions can resemble fungal infections and require a different approach. Pay attention to whether family members or close contacts have similar lesions, as fungal infections can spread between individuals. Keep the affected areas clean and dry, avoid sharing towels or clothing, and change undergarments regularly. If you have photographs or a recent examination report, they should be reviewed carefully by a qualified clinician to confirm whether this is truly persistent tinea or another skin condition.

Health Tips
Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing and avoid prolonged dampness from sweat. Dry skin folds thoroughly after bathing. Wash towels, undergarments, and bedsheets regularly and avoid sharing personal items. Maintain a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and regular physical activity to support overall skin health. Most importantly, do not assume serious illnesses such as cancer or HIV solely based on a persistent rash; chronic fungal infections and several other benign skin conditions are far more common causes of such symptoms. A proper reassessment of the diagnosis is often the key when a rash does not improve as expected. Thank you
