I'm dealing with ringworm on and off for the last 6 months and I'm really getting frustrated. I've tried loads of medicines and it sometimes improves, but then it comes back again. It all started when I had a longer-than-usual period, and now every month around that time, it flares up again. I did see a dermatologist, and their treatment almost cleared it up, but when my period hits, it pops back up, and now it seems to be spreading more. Do you have any advice on what's going on or what I should do?

I'm a bit confused about my test results. I tested negative for VDRL and RPR, but my TPHA came back positive at 1160. What does this mean for me in terms of timing or stage of syphilis? I've already taken a 2g dose of Azithromycin. Should I be concerned about needing Penicillin or Doxycycline too?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
