Kindly suggest some medicine to get rid of ringworm infection.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

From my professional opinion, it looks like tinea with secondary eczematization, or in simple words fungal infection with skin damage due to rubbing. One advice is please do not rub. I understand it can be difficult but try.

1. Take capsule Forcan (Fluconazole) 200 mg once weekly for four weeks.
2. Loceryl cream to be applied twice daily for three weeks. Once in the morning after bath and another at bedtime.
3. Abzorb powder (Clotrimazole) only in groin area (not hips). This is to prevent the infection from reaching the groins.
4. Tablet Dazit (Desloratadine) to be taken at night for seven nights to relieve itching.

Use separate head towels and body towels. Change underwear every day. No direct soap application over the area. No using Dettol or Savlon also. Just plain water will do. Do not drink milk or milk products or bread for a week. It contains yeast which is a fungus itself. If we want to kill fungus, we should control yeast intake. If you have bulky legs that rub with each other, exercise and lose some weight. Continue the medicines for the time period. Follow up with me after three weeks for a change in cream. Since this is a chronic condition, it needs to be removed completely to prevent further recurrences. Even if you feel any reduction in symptoms, complete the medicines for the given time period. This is very important. Hope this solves your query.
