Q. Would you please suggest me medicines to treat my recurrent ringworm infection?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for the query.

Fungal infections are known for its recurrence. The presence of moisture exacerbates these infections. I suggest you use plain fungal creams like Sebifin cream (Terbinafine) and oral antifungal tablets, which had a good response. Kindly do not use cream having steroid combination. Once it subsides, you can use antifungal dusting powder after bath regularly.

I suggest you the following precautions to prevent the recurrence;

1) It is advisable to stay in well-ventilated areas.

2) Wear loose cotton inner wears and do not wear tight clothes.

3) Moisture retention should be avoided as much as possible to prevent a recurrence.

4) Treat the dog simultaneously.

5) Wash after getting in contact with your dog.

Consult your dermatologist for further evaluation and management if it does not subside.

Thanks.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
