Tinea corporis (ringworm)
Hi, a month ago one day I woke up with a bump on my hand near thumb, thought that was a mosquito bite but it eventually turned into an rash... First dermatologist I visited nearby here suspected it as fungal infection, and gave me a lupizol cream, I applied it for 10 days and found that rash getting spread little bit... Then I visited an other doctor and he disagnosed it as tinea and prescribed itralase 100 mg capsules for 2 weeks and epicert cream. And still I have that rash as it was, and I found similar kind of rash(but very dry) in my stomach now. I'm worrying about this a lot now. How can I confirm its ringworm and can this be cured permanently?
Thank you!!!

Firstly you need to have faith in 1 dermatologist only.
Changing skin specialists wont solve your issue it usually takes around 6 weeks of continuous treatment to get free from it.
