Have Ring Worm On Thigh, Groin And Eyelids. Can I Put Tree Oil And Micatin Powder On Eyelids?

I think that I have Ring Worm. It started on my upper inner thigh and then to groin....went to my breasts then my head and now my eyelids. I have been using tea tree oil, micatin powder which has almost cleared up the breast area and micatin cream. Can I put the cream on my eyelids? Lamisil doesn't seem to do anything. Any other suggestions. I have a dermatologist appointment on Monday. The soonest they could see me was at that time. Help?

Hi

welcome to health care magic.Thanks for writing here.

It seems to be ring worm infection only.It usually starts at moist places of our body like groins,inner thighs and under breasts in case of females.From there it can spread to other parts of body like face ,eye lids.But infection at such sites is not so common.

Both micatin and lamicil are anti fungal drugs ,since lamicil is not working on your eyelids there is no use of applying micatin.

Your eyelid must have some other pathology and since you are consulting a dermatologist he will find out exact cause and treat it accordingly.

.Hope this will help you.Take care.
