I am suffering from ring worm disease from past 2 months. I had consulted a doctor while it started after a week, followed his medication. It got reduced to an extent, but again it started. Then I followed my friend's suggestion to use medicines which he used while he faced the same issue. Again the problem reduced to an extent and again it started. Then I consulted one of my friend's father who is a doctor and followed his medication. I am facing the same issue again. It is getting reduced and staring again in some other parts. What should I do?

The treatment for ringworm that is 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 like panderm, fourderm, betnovate, candid b etc and self treatment with cheaper generic medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Another cause of recurrence is cross infection from other infected people in the house. Kindly call me or send photos using online consult option for accurate diagnosis and treatment. If this is fungal infection, it needs to be treated as early as possible as it will spread further on your body and also to other people in the household.
