What Is The Remedy For Ringworm ?
Hello. I am breaking out with something that looks like a ringworm, but it is dark and flat. Most of them look like a dark blemish and some of them look like ringworm. I have them on my buttocks, arms, thighs, and chest. What can this be? Please help!

Hi there.
1. ring worm is due to a contagious fungal infection.
2. if not treated properly it goes on spreading.
3. start using terbicip spray twice daily on affected areas.
4.avoid wet clothes and avoid sharing things with our family or friends.
5. consult a dermatologist near by you for starting oral antifungal medication after physical examination and confirmation of the diagnosis.
this may help you.
