Question

I've been dealing with ringworm on the inner part of my thigh for about 9 months now. It seems to heal when I use medicine, but then it just comes back over and over. It even flares up after I itch it. I've tried using IT Mac 200, Terbest, and a bunch of other antifungal creams, but it keeps returning. I'm really frustrated and wondering if this is something that's going to stick around forever, or if there's anything else I can do to finally get rid of it. Any advice?
