What are the most effective medicines for treating ringworm (tinea infection)?
Dr G Reddy
M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)
Ringworm (Tinea Infection) is usually treated effectively with antifungal medicines. For mild cases, doctors commonly recommend antifungal creams or lotions (such as clotrimazole, ketoconazole, luliconazole, or terbinafine) applied regularly for 2-4 weeks and continued for some time even after the rash clears. For more severe, widespread, or long-standing infections, oral antifungal medicines may be needed under medical supervision. It is important to keep the affected area clean and dry, wear loose cotton clothing, and avoid using steroid-mixed creams, as they can worsen the infection. For best results and to prevent recurrence, consult a doctor to choose the right treatment based on the severity.
