Hello, I had a ringworm under my stomach I put travocort cream and cured but now im facing a lot of itching all over my body specially in my scalp without any signs of ringworm anywhere but sign of dandruff and little red skin where I scratch when im itching nothing else, went to pharmacy and told them that I might have fungus infection because of the ringworm before they told me that I have to take antifungal medication and told me to take sporanox for 2 weeks is that okay to do or I have to examine myself more. Thanks a lot.

Dear lybrate-user, tinea corporis or ringworm is a skin infection caused by a fungus that lives on dead tissues, such as the skin, hair, and nails. Ringworm is the fungus that causes both jock itch and athlete's foot. When it appears anywhere else on the body, the infection is just called ringworm. Ringworm of the scalp or severe ringworm require proper treatment and supervision, as it is contagious and may spread whole body. A general or normal ointment may not assure/cure it completely, though for time being it disappears it appears in another part of body. Basic hygiene can help treat and prevent ringworm as well. Keeping the skin clean and dry can help avoid infection. Homoeopathy has got complete cure for these kind of completes by constitutional treatment. I suugest you to take an appointment for consultation so that detail case can be discussed and rule out the cause and proceed further for treatment.
