Hello, I basically had what looked like ringworm about 3-4 months ago and then to kill it I used canestan and then daktekort. BUT it didn't work so then I used dettol and antisecptic cream. I then used exfoliator and kept it very dry, so dry infact that my arm has now swollen up and has infected. I was prescribed Fluxcillin. How can I keep it clean, its quite painful to move my arm too since it's swollon on the elbow
First you should get it confirmed that it is ring worm. If so wheat field ointment is enough to cure it.
