I've been dealing with ringworm for a whole year now, and none of the treatments I've tried seem to be making any difference. I've used terbinafine and clotrimazole cream, ketoconazole lotion and soap, and even took terefin and itrasys tablets. It's getting really frustrating. Do you have any advice on what I could try next or why these aren't working? What should I do?

I've been dealing with an issue on my face and underarms for about a year now. I've tried using luliconazole and ketoconazole ointments, and even took oral tablets like onecan and itraconazole, but nothing seems to fully solve the problem. The ketoconazole ointment seems to control it for a bit, but then it just comes back. Can you please help me figure out what's going on?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
