I've been dealing with ringworm for about 4 years, and nothing seemed to work until someone told me to try derobin ointment. It cleared up the ringworm on my hand, so I also applied it to my neck and throat area. But now things have gotten worsemy skin is peeling and doesn't seem to be healing. I'm really worried. What should I do?

It sounds like you may have developed a reaction to the derobin ointment when applied to your neck and throat. I recommend stopping the ointment immediately and washing the affected areas with mild soap and water. You can apply a soothing and healing ointment like Silverex cream to help with the healing process. Additionally, taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine can help with any itching or discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
