I am suffering from ringworm from last one year. I switched to homoeopathic in between but didn't see any change, so I switched back to allopathy and I take terbinafine and itraconazole tablets daily. The itching is in control but when I stop eating those tablets, it again starts. 1. Is there any permanent way to cure this disease? 2. I have really big patches of ringworm on my inner thighs and ass, I can not go to swimming as they are clearly visible, how can cure those patches (although no itching sensation)? 3. Can I apply soap on the infected region while I take bath? 4. I have heard that by doing gym, these patches will disappear, is it true? 5. Is my age right for joining gym as I have huge belly fats? 6. Does my underwear style (jockey fp02 brief) is the reason for this ringworm?
