Hi doctor, since last few months I have been suffering from ringworm on the inner thighs around genitals, I have tried a few home remedies and antifungal creams namely tigboderm, fourderm and ring guard but nothing seems to work permanently. It disappears when I use the cream and returns in few days as soon as I stop using it. Now I have observed rings on other parts, one on my left knee and one on my face, on my right cheek. This has resulted in severe pigmentation and skin darkening around genitals and itching is too much. Can you please suggest some speedy remedy!
