I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection that I've had for over 4 months now. Initially, I thought it was just a rash that would disappear on its own, but it resembled ringworm and has all spread over the lower parts of my bum. The itching is unbearable. Around 2 months ago, I noticed a ringworm on my stomachit was small at first but now it's grown quite a bit and started spreading. I'm also seeing new ones popping up near my genital area. I'm really worried about this and need some guidance on what to do. I've started using Cosvate GM because a friend who had a similar issue suggested itis this safe to use for my condition?

I'm really worried about my skin recently. I had treatment for ringworm last month, but now I've noticed bristles near one of the spots where the ringworm was. This has been happening for the past two weeks. Could this be related to a condition like harpics disease? I'd really appreciate some guidance on what I should do next.

If so, please help me out. It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection known as tinea corporis, which is commonly referred to as ringworm. The presence of bristles near the ringworm spot could indicate a recurrence or incomplete treatment of the fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Remember to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.
