Suggest Treatment For Ringworm Infections
my girlfriend has ringworm, and we treated it with an anti fungle cream, we have been doing so for a while now and it hasnt seemed to go down. we bandaged it up and used a vinal latex kin dof tape around the edges of the bandage and she's had a reaction to it. she has a red rash in the shape of the tape and its begining to weep. does this mean its healing?

Hi! sometimes ringworm is resistant to conventional antifungal agents; therefore you need to do a fungal culture test or switch on to other fungal agents like miconazole, fluconazole etc or may need oral therapy also at least for 1 month continuously.
I don't think the way you described it means it's healing....remove any adhesives please; it might prove harmful...!
Hope this helps you; regards,
