Dermatologist,  's  Response
According to your history it appears to be ringworm infection. You need to keep your soap and towel seperate, wear loose fitted cotton clothes, be in a cool and airy environment, keep the area as dry as possible and shouldn't share your clothes. Also start taking tablet terbinafine 250 mg once daily along with tablet levocetrizine 5mg once daily and apply sertaconazole cream over the affected site twice daily..
