Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi! My 8 year old son has rinworm. There are 6 patches in total. They are situated on his neck, forearm, tummy and groin. I applied Daktarin, which quelled it and then I read that garlic is very good at getting rid of it so I apply garlic too. The problem now is that most of the patches have turned dark purple! Could you tell me why? & if this is serious and also what can I do.
Hi, Thank you for asking question on health care magic. The treatment for ringworm is Whitfield's ointment (Salicylicacid + Benzoicacid). It has to be applied locally 2-3 times daily. Tolnaftate (Tini suspension) local application will also help in clearing ringworm patches. Hope this answer will serve your purpose Please feel free to ask any more queries if required Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCH Associate professor of pediatrics
