Griseofulvin and terbinafine are now nowadays not used in tinea. Amorolfine and eberconazole cream is used with antihistamines and antifungal tab for 1 month. But facial ringworm infection treatment is different (do not use above cream for that) need to talk to you need details evaluation and treatment you can chat with me clicking on" text consultation" option if you wish thanks.

In view of large area, it may be difficult to control easily. Proper approach will be to consult reputed skin specialist for direct examination, diagnosis, if confirmed as ring worm doctor will prescribe you tablets in proper dose, for long period, cream, lotion, soap etc. Medicines have to be changed depending on primary and secondary skin lesion. Hence regular follow up with same doctor. Other precautions like good personal hygiene, regular twice a day bath, avoiding synthetic clothes, using cotton clothes, looking out for contact and reinfection which is very common.
