Your current cream contains a strong steroid combined with an antifungal. While steroids temporarily relieve itching, they can actually weaken your skin's defense, causing the ringworm to spread and persist. Since you have had this infection for two months, it is best to stop this combination cream. Instead, a dedicated topical antifungal cream, such as clotrimazole or terbinafine, is more appropriate. I highly recommend consulting a healthcare provider, as a persistent two-month infection may require prescription-strength oral antifungal medication to completely clear. Keep the area clean, dry, and avoid scratching.
