I'm getting ringworm on my face, and it's getting worse. I'm using Clobeta right now; is it useful?

Asked by Female, 29 · 17 days ago

Ringworm on the face (Tinea faciei) usually worsens with steroid creams like Clobetasol, so they are not useful and should be stopped. Instead, use a proper antifungal cream like Luliconazole or Clotrimazole twice daily for 3-4 weeks, even after it looks better. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid touching or sharing towels, and do not apply any steroid creams. If it keeps spreading, consult a doctor for oral antifungal treatment.
