Suggest Other Options To Treat Ringworm

I went to the dr and they believe I have ringworm. I ve been useing 3%peroxide, lotrimin and mivonazole creams and the small sores have cleared up, but the bigger two i have on each breast have infected the skin close to the original and multiplied. I m useing tea tree oil too now because i dont want them to get any worse or spread. What else can i do???Any ideas??

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to ringworm. I suggest using Clotrimazole cream for local application. I also suggest using Fluconazole 150 mg for three days, one tablet a day. I recommend to maintain a good hygiene and keep the area dry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
