I have ringworm in my private parts. I used many creams and has also taken many medicines. But no difference. It itches alot and burns also. I have taken every possible precaution in last 2 months but it is nt curing. What to do now?

Hello, When its ringworm or fungal infection, certain aspects required are as follows: 1. To keep affected area dry. Wash off the sweat from the skin folds regularly during the day and apply powder to help keep skin dry. 2. Avoid friction or occlusion of the skin fold areas like groins or armpits by avoiding tight synthetic clothes and instead wear loose cotton clothes. 3. Avoid contact with infection sources. 4. To complete the full course of the prescribed treatment as incomplete treatment may decrease the skin problem for short while but can cause recurrence soon after. 4. To avoid self use of combination creams having steroid, as they will decrease itch temporarily but not treat the infection and cause side effects. 4. Last but not the least, there are many individual factors like basic health, Diabetes, or decreased immunity etc. Which can affect the healing process and need to be looked into. Hope this helps and wish you recovery from your troubling skin problem. Regards.
