I have been suffering from ringworm for the past two weeks and have seen no improvement after using Quadriderm cream. What alternative ointment or treatment should I use to cure this infection?

Asked by Male, 30 · 2 days ago

Your current cream contains a strong steroid, which can actually worsen fungal infections like ringworm by lowering your skin's local immunity. Please stop using it. Instead, switch to a dedicated, pure antifungal cream containing generic ingredients like clotrimazole, miconazole, or terbinafine. Apply it to the clean, dry affected area twice daily, extending slightly beyond the border of the rash, for 2 to 4 weeks. Keep the area dry and avoid sharing towels. Because steroid use can make the fungus stubborn, please consult a doctor if you see no improvement within a week, as you might require oral antifungal prescription tablets to fully clear it.
