What is the recommended clinical approach for treating widespread tinea (ringworm) on the face, stomach, and thighs that has not improved after using topical antifungals, oral antihistamines, and corticosteroid combination creams?

Since topical treatments and corticosteroid creams haven't worked?and steroids can sometimes actually worsen fungal infections?the standard clinical approach is to transition to prescription oral antifungal tablets, such as terbinafine or itraconazole. These medications work from the inside out to effectively eliminate the fungus from your face, stomach, and thighs. I highly recommend visiting a healthcare provider or dermatologist so they can safely prescribe the correct oral medication and monitor your progress.
