I've been dealing with this ringworm problem for about six years now. I've tried all sorts of antifungal soaps and creams, but nothing seems to help. It's actually spreading all over my body. What should I do?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as prolonged ringworm infections may require oral antifungal medications like fluconazole, itraconazole, or terbinafine, and ensure to complete the full treatment course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence and further spreading.
