Since the ringworm has spread to multiple areas of your body, you will likely need a prescription-strength antifungal tablet, such as fluconazole or terbinafine, rather than just a cream. Please see your doctor or dermatologist for an assessment to ensure you receive the right treatment to clear the infection. Keep the affected areas clean and dry, avoid sharing towels or clothes, and wear loose cotton clothing to help prevent the fungal infection from spreading further.
