I've had these scales on my lower legs since I was a kid, and I also noticed my stomach and back skin is darker than the rest of my body. Is there any way to completely get rid of this?

I've been struggling with ringworm for the past year, and my doctor recommended itraconazole and griseofulvin, but they haven't helped at all. What should I do now?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for reassessment, as itraconazole and griseofulvin are effective treatments; alternatives or additions may include topical creams (e.g., terbinafine, clotrimazole), oral antifungals (e.g., fluconazole, posaconazole), or laser therapy; also, ensure you're using an antifungal soap, keeping the affected area clean and dry, and avoiding sharing personal items to prevent reinfection.
