How can a recurrent ringworm infection be cured permanently?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

Well, ringworm is a type of fungal infection and it is very problematic if it becomes recurrent. Firstly, you should keep these precautions in mind:

• Do not keep the affected area wet at all. Use powder frequently to keep it dry.
• Avoid itching and do not scratch the affected area.
• Change your undergarments frequently.
• Do not apply any general or steroid cream, such as Betnovate, etc.
• Do not stop taking the medicine once you are cured. Continue taking the medicine for a long time to completely kill the fungus.
• Avoid excessive sweating and wet clothing.
• Check for diabetes and thyroid issues if the infection is recurrent even after proper treatment.

Now, for the treatment part:

• For itching, you can take antihistamines like Levocetirizine 10 mg (Levocetirizine) once in the morning and evening.
• You can use Ketoconazole cream (Ketoconazole) or take tab Terbinafine 250 mg (Terbinafine) for two months.
• You can use Terbinafine cream (Terbinafine) or take Fluconazole 150 mg (Fluconazole) twice a week for two months.
• You can take tablet Itraconazole 200 mg (Itraconazole) once a day and use any cream for one month.

These are different treatment combinations. Make sure to continue taking the medicine as prescribed.

I hope this helps.

Regards.
