I'm really struggling with this persistent ringworm infection. It's been 8 years now, and I'm still not able to get it under control. I've seen more than 8 doctors, tried all sorts of heavy medication, antibiotics, creams, and liquids, but nothing seems to last more than a month. I usually get some relief, but then it just comes back. It's so frustrating and I'm desperate for some help. Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated.
