For ringworm (fungal infection), Livosin is generally more effective because it is used specifically for treating fungal infections, while Gandhak Rasayan is an Ayurvedic supplement that may support skin health but is not considered a primary antifungal treatment. Recovery usually takes about 2?6 weeks depending on the severity and whether treatment is continued properly. Along with medicine, keep the skin dry, avoid tight clothing and scratching, and avoid steroid-containing creams, as they can worsen ringworm. Please consult a dermatologist if the infection is widespread, recurrent, or not improving within 2 weeks.

Can Livosin capsules completely cure ringworm, and for how many days should I take this medicine?

Livosin may help treat ringworm (fungal infection), but complete cure depends on the severity, location, hygiene, and whether the correct diagnosis and dose are being used. Fungal infections often require both oral medicine and antifungal creams, along with keeping the skin dry and avoiding steroid creams. The duration of treatment varies, but ringworm commonly needs treatment for about 2?6 weeks or sometimes longer. Do not stop the medicine early even if the rash improves, as the infection can recur. Since oral antifungal medicines can affect the liver and interact with other drugs, they should be taken only under a doctor?s supervision.
