Fungal infections on skin are the most common of all and are 100% curable by Homeopathic treatment. I advise you to stop allopathic treatment as it gives temporary results only with lots of side effects, it will recur once you stop medicines .
homeopathic treatment cures it from roots without side effects. no chance of recurrence. you can consult me online for homoeopathic treatment without side effects.

However, many ringworm (or Tinea) infections often recur and the usual medicines simply do not help the patient.
