Will ringworm spread to other parts of the body?

Question

Hello doctor,

I think I may have ringworm. It is located on the left side of my stomach (almost hip). I have tried putting Clotrimozol and Daktarin on it. I am afraid that it may spread to other parts of my body.

Please help.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, it is going in favor of tinea corporis, you may take the following medications and revert to me in three weeks. Take capsule Syntran (Itraconazole) 100 mg twice daily for three weeks, tablet Teczine M (Levocetirizine and Montelukast) once daily at night for three weeks, Nailrox (Ciclopirox) cream at night, and Zimig (Terbinafine hydrochloride) cream in the day time. Avoid touching the lesion as it may spread to other places by fingers. You need to wash the clothes under boiling water that came in contact with the disease to eradicate it permanently.

I hope this helps.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
