How To Cure A Really Bad Ring Worm Infection On My Back?
I am trying to figure out how to cure a really bad ring worm infection on my back. It has become very large and has become infected. I have used the walgreens antifungal cream, desoximetasone cream, and I was about to take medicine called griseofulvin (my son took this for problems with his hair ). Will this be enough or what else can I do?

u need to first confirm ur diagnosis. how long has it been there? does it itch? any family history? are u a diabetic? how long and what dose of griseofulvin have u taken? do post me ur pics on dr.resham@gmail.com. u may probably need sum better oral antifungal like terbinafine.
