Can I use Betnovate-C cream to help with pimples and scars on my oily skin? I'm a bit worried because my skin tends to get really greasy, and I'm not sure if this would help or just make things worse. What would you recommend?

I'm really worried about my friend who keeps getting ringworm over and over. She gets better after treatment, but then a few months later, it pops up again. Is this something serious, or does it mean something else might be going on? The doctor mentioned coming back if it happens again, do you think she should make another appointment? What steps should she take to finally get rid of it for good?
