The treatment for fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams and self treatment with cheaper generic medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Kindly send photos using online consult option for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Terbinaforce has questionable quality. Other brands are also from cheap companies. That may be the reason for the failure of treatment. Please contact me.

If U have ringworm from long time than U should take antifungal medicine after proper consultation with dermatologist. Don't use medicine from direct medical store. Some time it will increase ur problem. So consult on practo direct and if possible then send some pictures so we can prescribe proper medicine for that.
