I have a ringworm infection on my hands that is now spreading to my body, and Fucidin ointment has not worked. What effective antifungal medications or ointments can I use to treat this?
Ringworm is a fungal infection, which is why Fucidin an antibacterial ointment was ineffective. Please don't worry, as this is a very common and highly treatable condition. For localized areas, over-the-counter topical antifungal creams containing terbinafine, clotrimazole, or miconazole are very effective. However, because the infection is spreading to your body, topical creams alone may not be enough. You will likely benefit from oral antifungal medications, such as terbinafine or itraconazole tablets, which clear the infection from within. I highly recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist to get the correct prescription and a tailored treatment plan.
