I'm having a skin issue on my thigh and it seems like it might be a ringworm. I've tried using antifungal cream and candid gold dusting powder, but it keeps coming back and spreading. What should I do to get rid of it for good?

-I'd recommend seeing a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and get a stronger prescription antifungal treatment. In the meantime, keep the area clean and dry to help prevent it from spreading.
