My child has ringworm on his scalp

My child has ringworm on his scalp but the doctor misdiagnosed it as psoriasis and told me to put salicylic acid cream on it and it still got worse... so I took him to another Dr. today and he said that my child has ringworm. What can I do now to give him relief?

    The doctor was supposed to give you a cure for your child , did he do it ? You are asking us but most of us are patients not doctors.

    All I can tell you is that many OTC antifungals also cure ringworm , the brands are Lamisil , Lotrimin , Terrasil , Equeate , Mycozil etc...

    Fugacil has helped my ringworm clear up within a week, but you should ask your doctor if it is safe for your child because this is a strong antifungal cream made with nanomedicines and essential oils.
