I've had this thing that looks like ringworm on my neck for a few months now. My doctor prescribed the strongest cream they have, but it's still not going away. I'm really worried and confused about why it's not healing. Could it be something else or am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be appreciated.

Persistent ringworm infections may require a different approach. In such cases, oral antifungal medications may be necessary. I recommend speaking to your doctor about trying oral antifungal medication such as Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) at a dosage of 250mg once daily for several weeks. This should help to effectively treat the ringworm infection on your neck.

I'm wondering if I should use Tyrodin cream for these red marks I have on my face. I'm worried it'll dry out my skin even more since it's already a bit dry. Do you think this cream is a good idea? Also, I'm looking for a moisturizer that can really hydrate my skin and give it a nice glow. Any recommendations? The Tyrodin I am considering has tranexamic acid and kojic acid in it.
Yes you can use it no problem for hydration you can use good moisturizer i suggest requil moisturizer which would work
