You should stop using Lobate GN Skin Cream immediately, as the steroid (Clobetasol) in it may worsen ringworm or mask the underlying problem. Keep the area clean and dry and continue applying Sebifin Cream (Terbinafine) for 2-4 weeks. Consult a doctor if the infection does not improve, as you may need a proper check-up and a more potent oral antifungal medicine to clear it completely.

  1. Understanding Ringworm and Treatment Challenges

    • Ringworm is a fungal infection that may not respond immediately to treatment.

  2. Issues with Current Medications

    • Clobetasol, a steroid, can worsen fungal infections. Neomycin is for bacterial infections, not fungal.
    • Terbinafine is an antifungal, but correct application and duration are crucial.

  3. Recommended Next Steps

    • Stop using Clobetasol. It can exacerbate fungal infections.
    • Continue or restart antifungal treatment under medical guidance.
    • Consider oral antifungals if topical treatments fail.

  4. Diagnostic Confirmation

    • Visit a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and possible skin tests.

  5. Additional Care Tips

    • Keep the area clean and dry.
    • Avoid sharing personal items to prevent spreading.

  6. When to Seek Urgent Medical Attention

    • If the infection worsens or signs of a secondary bacterial infection appear.

  7. Relevant Medical Specialties and Treatments

    • Consult a dermatologist.
    • Possible prescription of oral antifungals like terbinafine or itraconazole.
