Hello

[@bigd8812]

My condition has spread

[@leahbuluku8935]

@@bigd8812 did you also try to use a tablet like grisoflueven? Not sure about the spelling. In addition to the cream you can try to take oral tablets for a month. A doctor can prescribe. That's what am taking in addition to applying candid B cream to the affected area. This was a previous prescription that I got for a fungal infection which worked great.

[@bharathin1244]

Clotrimazole, not steroid cream?

[@MajdMD]

@@bharathin1244 exactly.

[@lazzy2012]

I appreciate the hope that you convey. Probably the biggest challenge in having jock itch, is the mental battle and overall feelings of disgust and embarrassment. Thanks Dr.

[@ryotaarai3816]

You forgot to mention the most important thing... Wash all things that come in contact with your skin (clothes, towels, sheets) with the hottest water possible or with bleach or antifungal wash, AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. Chucking them into a dryer helps too, and I do these with comforters and pillows. These fungi transfer to fabrics upon contact and survive regular cold laundry cycles. No matter how often you treat the ringworm, it will come back again if your skin comes into contact with infected fabrics.

[@musiko90]

I’ve used the creams none stop for years and the moment I stop they reappear.

[@y.k.9705]

Me too. I've had it for over 30 years. Now I clean it with bleach, will see what happens.

[@sandeepthapar8457]

Thanks, Doctor Majd for this valuable guidance. Google says "Ringworm on the body is usually treated with a topical ointment such as clotrimazole and miconazole. A four-week course is common, but the time can vary. With treatment, a ringworm infection on a part of the body without hair (glabrous skin) is likely to clear up within two to four weeks of the start of treatment".

[@MajdMD]

Yep -- exactly correct. Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!

[@fathead24241]

Majd MD When I apply the clotrimazole, do I blow dry it afterwords or let it dry on its own? It’s on my thigh, this being dark and covered by clothing

[@MajdMD]

@@fathead24241 Either way it's fine. It typically takes a few minutes to "sink in" to the skin so you can let it dry on its own if you're not in a hurry :)

[@user-jt7en2ml9i]

Can you mention the brand name because there are so many company?

[@MrKitty-zv3dl]

Want faster results? Use full strength Apple Cider Vinegar 3X a day on a cloth for 10 minutes each time. Rub the affected area then let the soaked cloth sit on your skin. Any cuts or abrasions will burn if the vinegar gets in it. You'll notice a difference in 3 days. The acid in the vinegar will burn the ring and it'll take some time for the area to clear up from the burn marks.

A week on later I started finding some tiny read scaly patches to be very itchy and are growing in size .yet I continued to use the same fluticosane for days .

I've never heard of it. But ringworm is a fungus, so it really requires an antifungal -- so if that topical contains and antifungal then it should work.

[@Artieee51]

Excellent video Dr Majd! Thank you. A female friend has some of kind of infection on her scalp she has been told is ringworm. You talked about Clotrimazole for treatment. She has been given Ketoconazole, which is supposedly another ointment for this infection. Is that a good substitute, or should she consider switching to the Clotrimazole? Do you recommend any particular shampoos to help with this, or just the Clotrimazole and regular shampooing? You said it could take up to a month to get rid of this? Wait for at least a week or so to see any improvements?

[@MajdMD]

Ringworm on the scalp may be even tougher to eradicate than on the body (sometimes it requires oral antifungals). But i'm wondering if what she has is a different type of fungus? It's not common on the scalp in adults in the U.S. But Ketoconazole does have a shampoo, so perhaps that is why she was prescribed that one. Otherwise, other over the counter shampoos also contain ketoconazole (like Nizoral). I would always recommend that people follow their own doctor's advice, especially since i have not seen it or know her as a patient :) Hope that helps.

Good work by the goalkeeper to keep out a shot of that power. Now it's a corner here, for the team that is up by one goal. Oh that wasn't a great corner at all, you'd expect him to do better. I like this defender, he's very old school, just clearing his lines does it for him. A throw in for the opposition. Good teamwork by this team, their manager will be proud. Referee has awarded a free kick in a dangerous area, is he going to show him a card? He's shown him yellow, he will have to be careful now. Can they make anything from this free kick? He's going to shoot! Oh that wasn't on target, he's missed by miles. The countdown is on, 8 more minutes until full time, the score currently 1-0. The manager is going to try something different here, a fresh pair of legs should do the trick. Good job on the first touch but he has to work on keeping the ball, defender clearing his line here, just in time. Excellent chance here! Oh what a goal, no chance for the goalkeeper, you have to feel bad for him. The score now 2-0, and it seems obvious who is going to win. Oh you have to feel bad for him, he's pulled a muscle, and that concludes this match, final score 2-0, I am Martin Tyler and my assistant, Alan Smith, we are proud to have presented you this match, see you next time, goodbye

[@kirika20]

this fungus needs to be attacked from the inside, no cream is ever going to make it go away forever, it might help at first but it will always come back. People who have this (like me) typically suffer from Candida, SIBO and if you're a woman, PCOS. You should go to the doctor for a Candida test. Candida causes tinea faciei and other skin diseases. The problem: it's not the fungus on the face, it's your gut and liver malfunction.

[@MajdMD]

The miconazole part is an antifungal that can be used for ringworm. The hydrocortisone part is a steroid, however, and although it can help with itching it may worsen ringworm. It can be tried, but miconazole alone would be more ideal. If you don't seem improvement through time or any worsening, i'd switch the the plain miconazole.

[@prateekchauhan6376]

Kanika sharam same here i am really upset.. Please tell when something works for you.. I have ordered apple cider vinegar i hope it will help me.. I have got a ringworm on my moustache and it is starting to spread.. It has gone into my nose as well

[@MajdMD]

it's important to keep that area as dry as possible. Sweat can predispose to overgrowth. Cornstarch is an option for some patients.

[@xs_4689]

Majd MD what if you wanna keep exercising but have ringworm?

[@prathameshshinde7281]

How long did you take terbinafine and itraconazole. Tell me the duration in weeks and also tell me the dosage like terbinafine 250 mg twice a day or something?

[@jayantabaruah5657]

Doc, is derobin help to kill ringworm ?

[@abdullahkhan2308]

Mam I done everything but nothing is working also doctors medicines are not working

[@MajdMD]

my question would be -- is it really ringowrm then? Perhaps it may require a biopsy.

[@kinghenry2308]

Extreme case solved!!!Used Soak in a 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup of Epsom salt bath for 15 to 30 min twice a day..Also swimming at the beach will also help. TRUST !!!me it works. It will dry it out fast and even the few day that pass.. You will see a major difference

Mam I have a ringworm on my back side of neck ..kindly prescribe me some medicine 💊

[@jsmitz237]

Help! I found one ringworm on my arm, I caught it late, by the time i went to the doctor he had me buy some cream over counter, then in a week or so It spread all over my body from feet to nose back and front. I went back to see Dr. And he has me on fluconazole now. I’ve been taking it for over a month now once a week and it keeps re appearing, I’m still applying cream, also the powder anti fungus also. Nothing seems to work, it has severely taken over my belly on the lower front, I’ve had this since mid november 2021 ! Before i goto the grocery store and buy all their garlic and take a bath in it …is there anything else I can use? It also gives me horrible cramps

[@Thiswuan]

Are you cured? Similar case also caught it a month late before it started spreading immediately after starting treatment

[@jsmitz237]

@@Thiswuan I took fluconazole, which my doctor prescribed, one pill once a week, it took about a month and a half for it to go away. it spreads fast, but they weren’t itchy but annoying. My girlfriend never got it. It started as a red ring on my right tricep area I didn’t know what it was until it was too late and spreading, all over my back, butt, arms legs and feet also, neck.. if you don’t want to spread it, keep to yourself as much as possible, take showers last if you share it with someone else, and the pill will attack it, and they will fade away, the last ones I had were just above my ankles and calf area, after they faded I haven’t seen them since. Instead of using creams that are $15 a small tube…just get the pill from your doctor asap , good luck !

[@celestinahuang3483]

Which would be better? Clotrimazole or miconazole? I got both creams

[@MajdMD]

Either one!

[@celestinahuang3483]

@@MajdMD hey I also use a miconazole+hydrocortisone combo for around 6 ish days and I'm stopping use due to the hydrocortisone as I want to get off steroids. I am gonna stick to clotrimazole, will I still heal?

[@joshmedina8900]

I never had one in my life until now someone help

[@YveVas]

Are you still dealing with the fungus problem?

[@annmariesarvent7169]

Hi Dr. Majd, thank you for this information! I started using Clotrimazol Canesten cream a week ago. How long for this to disappear? does it take months? Thank you in advance.

[@MajdMD]

my pleasure! If it truly is ringworm, it shouldn't be months, but weeks (usually by 1 month it's resolved) if used 2-3 times a day. You should see it gradually disappearing.

[@dogman683]

Please help I think I have ring worm on my scalp. A week ago I was experiencing really itchy scalp and burning. I put aquaphor on it and it made it worse. It started spreading like wild fire today on my scalp. I feel a small raised and hard bump in the center. Ive lost a good amount of hair at crown of my scalp. Idk what to do. Please give advice.

[@MajdMD]

It could be various things -- allergic reaction, ringworm, alopecia, an infected cyst, etc. I'd highly encourage you to consult with your doctor.
