Suggest Remedies For Skin Infection On Neck And Thigh

I have been using ring guard cream for 18 days. The infection got a little better but after 2 days red spots began to appear on the infection area. So i stopped using the ring guard. So what to do now? The skin infection is still there and severe. Its on the neck and above the thigh area.

Hi!! According to your history it seems to be a case of ringworm infection as initially you had improvement in your skin lesion after applying ringguard. I would recommend you to take oral terbinafine 250 mg once daily and apply terbinafine cream over the affected area twice daily.This has to be continued for 4 weeks so that the infection doesnt recur after stopping the medicine.
Besides this dont share your soap and towel, stay in a cool and airy environment and wear loose cotton clothes.
Hope for your speedy recovery.
