I'm dealing with a stubborn ringworm infection in my groin area. I've been using Saibol cream, but it doesn't seem to be working, and now the infection is spreading. I'm really concerned and was wondering if using FourDerm cream and Terbicip tablets would be a better option to help clear it up. What do you think?

I'm really concerned about these lines appearing near my shoulders and armpits on both sides. They've been there for almost a year and seem to be increasing over time. I'm worried because I don't know what they are or what's causing them. Can someone help me understand what this could be and suggest any remedies? I'd also like to know how I can prevent this from getting worse.
