I have Ringworm infection for 2 months....

Once I went to see dermatologist and he prescribed terbinaforce cream and  fluconazole 250mg only Tuesday and Thursday per week for 2 week.(that means only 4 tablet). But my ringworm was spreaded . 

Then again I went to see another dermatologist and he prescribed  Pevaryl cream (econazole) and Terbinafine 250mg per day for 3 weeks. 

Same medication. I cannot undersand why it didn’t heal. ? Please help me

    I think medications may depend on symptoms and locations of your infection. Besides, you need to take a good care of your skin to keep the infection in check. For example, avoid excessive sweating, stay cool and dry, keep clean and don't let others use your clothing, towels and hairbrushes. I used to try grapefruit seed extract on my scalp and got success. But recently, I have another ringworm infection on my groin areas. I apply grapefruit seed extract but this doesn't work at all. I never tried creams or ointments but this time I buy Fugacil cream and have just applied it twice. I'm not sure how it works but admittedly my itching and burning decrease so much after the 1st application. Suggest this and hope that it can work for your condition.
