I am a 24 year old female and have been suffering from ringworm from the last one year in my private area and buttock area, I underwent allopathy treatment but it keeps on recurring. The skin on the buttock has become discoloured and itchy scaly patches keeps on coming back and itches mostly at night. Although scratching relieves it but blood oozes out.
