You may use a prescription-strength antifungal cream or spray, such as terbinafine or clotrimazole, applied twice daily to the affected area. Continue your current medications as prescribed, and keep the area clean and dry. Avoid steroid-based creams and do not share towels or clothing. If the itching does not improve after 2 weeks, consult your doctor, as the infection may be resistant or the diagnosis may need to be reviewed.

  1. Understanding Ringworm and Itching

    • Ringworm is a fungal infection causing a red, itchy, circular rash. Itching occurs due to the body's inflammatory response to the fungus.

  2. Current Treatment Overview

    • You are using Griseofulvin, Levocetirizine, and Fluconazole. Griseofulvin and Fluconazole are antifungals, while Levocetirizine is an antihistamine for itching.

  3. Antifungal Creams and Sprays for Itching Relief

    • Consider using topical antifungals like clotrimazole, miconazole, or terbinafine creams or sprays. These can help reduce itching and treat the infection.

  4. Additional Measures to Relieve Itching

    • Keep the affected area clean and dry. Avoid irritants and use soothing agents like calamine lotion.

  5. When to Consult a Doctor

    • If symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.
