Does Regrowth Of Hair After Application Of Canesten Be Caused By Ringworm?
Is ringworm always round? I have lost hair on both temples. I tried every thing. Then I read that antifungal creams can grow hair. I tried some Canesten because there was some in the medicine cupboard and after less than a week have seen some hair growth. Does this mean that the hair loss was in fact ringworm?

Hi,
From, history it seems that you might be having ringworm infection on scalp as anti-fungal cream gave some improvement.
It is not necessary that ring worm might be in round form.
go for oral anti-fungal medicine course like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
Do regular hair wash.
Ok and take care.
