I have been suffering from ringworm on my face for the past two months. I used Dermiford cream regularly, but there is no improvement and the affected area is increasing. What is the appropriate treatment?

Ringworm on the face that is spreading despite using creams is usually due to incomplete treatment or use of steroid-mixed creams, which can actually worsen fungal infections. The correct treatment is to stop any combination creams like Dermiford and use a proper antifungal cream (such as clotrimazole, ketoconazole, or luliconazole) applied twice daily for at least 2-4 weeks and continued for 1-2 weeks even after the rash clears. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid touching or scratching, and do not share towels or personal items. Since your infection is persistent and spreading, you may also need oral antifungal tablets prescribed by a doctor after proper evaluation. It is important to consult a dermatologist for the right diagnosis and complete treatment to prevent recurrence.
