I'm really worried about this ringworm situation. It's spread to different parts of my body, and I've tried everything from fluconazole to tarabinafine and all sorts of creams. Right now, I'm using something called zalim lotion. Is there something I might be missing or another treatment I should consider?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fluconazole and terbinafine are commonly used antifungal medications for ringworm. In addition to these, using topical antifungal creams can also be helpful. Zalim lotion contains clobetasol propionate which is a steroid used to reduce inflammation and itching associated with skin conditions. For better results, continue using Zalim lotion as directed and also consider adding an antifungal cream containing clotrimazole or miconazole to your treatment regimen. Make sure to apply the medications consistently and keep the affected areas clean and dry.

I've been dealing with a ringworm for a couple of years now, and it just doesn't seem to go away no matter how many doctors I see. I'm starting to feel a bit desperate. What could be going wrong, and how should I approach getting rid of it for good?
Despite being diagnosed and treated by multiple doctors, your persistent ringworm infection over the past two years suggests that the underlying cause might not have been fully addressed; consider consulting a dermatologist for a re-evaluation, as they may recommend additional tests, such as a skin scraping or biopsy, to confirm the diagnosis and identify any underlying conditions, such as a fungal, bacterial, or parasitic infection, and provide targeted treatment, which may include antifungal medications, creams, or ointments.

I've got this boil in my underarm that's developed these tiny mouths or openings on it. The doctor prescribed me Ultimox 625, then switched to Linox 600, and gave me Fusiderm cream to apply. I'm just really anxious if this treatment will actually get rid of the boil for good. What do you think?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
