Recurring Rash. Diagnosed As Wring Worm, Given Ointment. Suggestions?

My daughter 34 years old has been dealing with a rash, she saw a doctor who said she has wring worms, and gave her some ointment, but, it will heal some, but new ones seem to surface. I informed her to use some chlorine bleach because I heard it works. If her wring worm continually comes back what can she do to stop it?

Hi,
As your doctor said it is tinea infection, continue anti-fungal cream or lotion locally.
Go for one course of oral anti-funngal tablet like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
Ok and take care.
