Undergoing Treatment For Ringworms. Noticed Tiny Little Bumps On The Forearm And Chest. Any Reasons To Be Worried ?
Hi, my name is Toris. And I currently have a case of a ringworm . I have begun to treat the ringworm with Tinactin , the anti fungal cream. But throughout the treatment process I have begun to notice little bumps elsewhere. Now they aren t large at all, but they are mainly on my arm , where about 4 ringworms are located, and on the higher part of my chest, where one ringworm is located. Should I be worried that the ringworm is spreading, or is it just my body reacting to the anti fungal cream.

hi i had gone through your query and understand your concerns. i would come up with the possibility of ALLERGY may be the underlying cause for your sufferings.
-the drug are you used now ( fungal ointment )may be the triggering factor
avoid or change cream may be beneficial for you.
I hope this is helpful for you, thank you
