Question

I'm reaching out because my skin doctor diagnosed me with ringworm and suggested I use Funginil soap and cream. It's been about a month now, but the ringworm hasn't gone away. Am I on the right track with this treatment?

Ringworm can sometimes be stubborn to treat. In addition to using funginil soap and cream, I recommend adding an antifungal medication like Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) cream to your treatment regimen. Apply the Terbinafine cream twice daily for at least 2 weeks. If the ringworm persists, consult your doctor for further evaluation and possible oral antifungal medication.

Question

I'm a bit concerned because I was prescribed the fas 3 kit for a suspected fungal infection and followed the instructions, but after feeling better on day 2, the discomfort and burning sensation came back on day 3. The doctor said to check back after a week if things didn't improve, but I'm not sure if I should wait that long. Should I go for another consultation now, or give it a week like the doctor suggested?
