Yes, you can still eat eggs and chicken while dealing with a fungal infection like ringworm. However, it is important to avoid excessive consumption of sugary and processed foods, as they can potentially worsen the fungal infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices and following your prescribed antifungal treatment is crucial for managing ringworm effectively.

I've been dealing with this frustrating fungal infection in my groin for a while now. It's got this annoying itching and my skin has turned dark, almost black. I'm 48 and weigh about 80 KGs. I've been using forederm ointment for a month, but if I skip even a day or two, the symptoms come right back. I'm really looking for some help here. Is there something else I should try or any advice you can give me to get this under control?

It seems like you have a persistent fungal infection in your groin area. I recommend you try using Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection internally. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation.
