BEFORE YOU BEGIN ANY TREATMENT TALK TO A DOCTOR

Treatment for Dermatophytosis or ringworm

Antifungal treatments include topical agents such as Miconazole, Terbinafine, Clotrimazole, Ketoconazole, or Tolnaftate applied twice daily until symptoms resolve - usually within one or two weeks. Topical treatments should then be continued for a further 7 days after resolution of visible symptoms to prevent recurrence. The total duration of treatment is therefore generally two weeks,but may be as long as three.

In more severe cases or where there is scalp ringworm, systemic treatment with oral medications may be given.

To prevent spreading the infection, lesions should not be touched, and good hygiene maintained with washing of hands and the body.

Good luck..from a caring individual
