I've been battling with ringworm for a while now. I saw a skin specialist, but I didn't notice any real improvement. I've tried using some general skin creams like cebet and btex, and even the dk jel, but the ringworm just keeps getting worse. Now I've got these 67 rings on my left leg and hand. Can you suggest any effective treatments?
