I have ring worms and I have consulted a dermatologist who has put me on terbinafine 500 mg tablets for a month and a half. But after having the tablets for a week, the ring worms instead of getting cured are spreading and the itching is uncontrollable. Should I get back to my doc and get the medicines changed or should I wait until the medicines start kicking in?

The treatment appeared to be perfect, but you need to be reassessed. Also do blood sugar test. You can consult me online.
