Suggest Treatment For Itching On The Thighs Caused By A Ringworm Infection
Question: Hi there i need your help urgently on something that i am having huge problem with!
Im so desperate to find a treatment to get rid of this huge round ringworm around my private area, on my thigh and leg as its spreading so big, its soo itchy and it burns as well! I have been seeing my GP for how many times for this issue, they give medication that they reccomend that will help me but it just doesnt work, ive been given creams all the time i go back but it just doesnt work! Its such a large area to work on especially the private parts! Can you please help me? As i need something strong to really get rid of this ugly thing around my private part and my legs as well!
I was also given a vaginal swap for yeast infection, but the reslt came back as i have candida thrush also so i guess that means that fungus has fone in internally or something like that!

Brief Answer:
Ringworm infection likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
It seems that you have a ringworm infection of the skin around your private parts that has a superadded bacterial infection. This needs proper systemic antibiotics after consulting a dermatologist. Only topical antifungal creams and lotions will not provide a complete relief.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

So what do you reccomend i use or take?
Because i know there are tablets that you can take as well to get rid of it! If so, am i able to buy some over the counter at any pharmacy or a particular pharmacy?
Because i have had this for a year now! It started when i was pregnant with my second child, and from there on and today it hasnt gone even though i was given medication for it! Now its so huge that it has spread through to the back of my bottom and that area of my skin which is infected has change colour to black!
