What Is Ringworm?
10. Treatment
Treating ringworm is usually straightforward and any drugstore should be able to give you an appropriate medication. This will usually be all that you need, but it won’t be effective for everybody. If these are not working, then you should speak with your doctor to get something stronger.
Medication will usually involve a topical cream, although oral medication will be prescribed in some cases. In the meantime, the patient should try and keep the area as clean and dry as possible. Covering the infected area can also help to prevent the spread of the infection to elsewhere on the body, and to other people.
