Why has the ringworm on my stomach not cleared up after using Clobetamil G ointment and Allegra 120mg tablets for eight months?

Asked by Male, 25 · 3 days ago

The main reason it has not cleared is that Clobetamil G contains a powerful steroid (clobetasol) and an antibiotic, but ringworm is actually a fungal infection. Applying steroids to a fungal infection suppresses your skin's natural immunity, which allows the fungus to thrive and survive much longer. Meanwhile, Allegra (fexofenadine) only helps manage itching, not the infection itself. Using a strong steroid for eight months can also lead to skin thinning. Please stop using Clobetamil G and consult a healthcare provider to get a proper antifungal treatment to safely clear this up.
