Brief Answer:
Ask A specialist

Detailed Answer:
Hi

This needs a specialist review. You have a complicated skin infection which was unresolved even with best drugs. The current medicines are best. But a 10 month chronic one needs a specialist to review it to address any other factors causing recurrent ring worm.

Entire family needs to be treated. We need to review the diagnosis if ring worm by specialist.

I suggest you to use 'Ask a specialist service' which is free. You can post pictures as well.
