How To Treat Ring Worm Infection?
I have ringworm, and I haven't applied the cream every single day. I lost the cream and I don't know where it is, and I don't know when I'm going to be able to get another... is there any alternative to the cream? Can I die from not having the cream for a few days?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having ring worm infestation for which your doctor had prescribed the topical antifungal cream for application over the lesions.
As you are not finding it now, keep the affected area clean and dry as for as possible and if you are not able to find out that I would suggest you to take antifungal cream like ketaconazole.
This cream helps to control your symptoms, maintain good hygiene of the affected area.
Thank you.
