Suggest Cure For Itching And Flaking In Groin Post Ringworm Treatment

30 yrs, female, 130 lbs, 5'9". No skin disorders. Tramadol 50 mg npo (once/twice per week) for back pain. Issue: diagnosed with ringworm of the skin - patches on breast, back, arm, and groin, especially in the clitoral area. Ketoconazole 2% is not making the patches get any lighter or smaller, and the groin area is itching and flaking more since beginning treatment Wednesday.

Hi,
It seems that you might require one oral course of anti-fungal medicine to clear the infection.
Go for Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for four weeks.
Continue applying antifungal lotion.
Ok and take care.
