I've been dealing with ringworm on the back of my neck for over six months now, and I'm really struggling to find relief. Ive tried using TezcortGM ointment, but every time I apply it, painful boils appear after a few days. It's really uncomfortable, but if I stop using the ointment, the ringworm spreads and gets itchy and exfoliates. I've also tried taking SAFI, but it hasn't been much help either. I've seen a doctor, but that didn't seem to work out. This condition only affects my back neck and nowhere else on my body. I'm really hoping for some advice on how to manage or cure this issue.

It's been a struggle for about 2 years now, and I'm really seeking some help and advice. Could you let me know if ITMAC 100 would be a good option or suggest anything else that might help?

In jock itch, IT-MAC 100 can be taken. It is an antifungal medication that can help treat fungal infections like jock itch. The usual dosage is 100mg once daily for 2-4 weeks. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication.
