What medication works best for a ringworm infection?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Candiforce capsule is an antifungal medication that contains Itraconazole, and it is the right treatment for ringworm. Along with that, use topical Sertaconazole antifungal cream. You can apply the cream to the affected area two times a day (consult your specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent). In addition, certain skin care measures must be followed during ringworm infection; let me list them for you here.

1. Wear dry loose cotton clothes. Try to use inner garments made of pure cotton. Use fans or air conditioners at night to keep the affected part well-ventilated.

2. Take a bath twice daily; always use lukewarm water. Avoid using very hot water to take a bath. Hot water favors fungal growth on the body. Wash the affected parts with cold water after the bath. Always use a fresh dry towel to wipe off water from the body. Make sure skin folds are dry before wearing clothes.

3. Use antifungal dusting powders for skin folds such as underarms, thigh folds, below breasts, and between the toes.

4. Wash your clothes, towel, and bedspread using hot water and dry them in good sunlight.

5. Eat healthy food, and keep your body weight ideal for your height because being overweight and having poor nourishment lead to reduced immunity, increasing the chances of getting a fungal infection.

6. If you have diabetes, check your blood sugar level frequently and ensure your blood sugars are within the normal range because uncontrolled blood sugar is a risk factor for fungal infection.

7. If any of your family members have a similar fungal infection, encourage them to take treatment.

8. Check your pet animals for rashes. If there are any, take them to a veterinary doctor for treatment. Dogs and cats are also sources of infection.

9. Always complete the entire course of medications prescribed by your dermatologist. Incomplete treatment results in the recurrence of fungal infection, which is more resistant to treatment.

10. Do not scratch the affected area. Scratching makes the rash worse. Instead, ask your dermatologist for anti-itching medicine.

11. Do not wear synthetic clothes and tight-fitting jeans. They do not allow air to flow through them and do not wear wet inner clothes.

12. Do not share your personal items such as clothes, towels, soap, or comb with your family or friends.

Proper and timely medications from a dermatologist and these skin care measures would help in reducing the symptoms and speedy recovery from ringworm infection without recurrence.

I hope I was helpful to you.

Thank you.
