Stop using Lobate GN cream immediately, as it contains a steroid (Clobetasol) that may worsen the fungal infection and cause it to recur. You need a pure antifungal cream, such as clotrimazole or terbinafine, and in some cases, oral antifungal tablets prescribed by a doctor. Keep the affected areas clean and dry, change your clothes daily, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent the infection from spreading.

Understanding Ringworm and Its Recurrence
- Ringworm is a fungal infection that can recur if not fully treated or if re-exposed to the fungus.
Proper Use of Antifungal Creams
- Apply Lobate GN Skin Cream as directed, usually twice daily. Continue use for at least 1-2 weeks after symptoms disappear to ensure the fungus is eradicated.
Hygiene and Skin Care Practices
- Keep affected areas clean and dry. Avoid sharing personal items like towels or clothing to prevent spreading.
Environmental and Clothing Considerations
- Wear loose, breathable clothing. Wash clothes and bedding in hot water regularly to kill any lingering fungi.
When to Seek Medical Advice
- Consult a doctor if the infection persists, spreads, or if you experience severe side effects from the cream.
Additional Preventive Measures
- Reduce recurrence by avoiding excessive sweating and maintaining good skin hygiene.
