How Could Swelling And Rashes Be Treated?

Hi I believe I have ringworm, and I treated it with garlic for about a week. It s now very swollen and appears to have formed some sort of rash. What should I do? Also wondering if my recent sickness and irregular bowel movements for the last three days might be a result?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.

Swollen and rash type of ringworm looking lesion must be treated wit appropriate anti-fungal drug whether topically or oral once dosage.

For that,you may need to go at dermatologist clinic who may prescribe you.

Your recent sickness and irregular bowel movements are unlikely to be related to this ringworm lesion.

You can take symptomatic treatment for sickness like pain killers or anti-pyretics etc and pro-biotics if you have a frequency of bowel motions.

Consult physician if problem persists.

Regards,

I find this answer helpful
