How To Treat Ring Worm Infection On Wrist And Foot?
I've been using econazole nitrate to cure a ringworm on my wrist and my foot over 3 months now. It has improved greatly on my wrist & foot. Now it seems to have stopped working because it only did half the job. I still have a bumpy line that remains from the ringworm on my wrist & it's starting to spread to my palm. I continue to apply the cream when it dries. What should I do!

Hi,
It seems that you might require oral anti-fungal medicine course like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
This will give permanent cure.
Continue with local application of anti-fungal lotion.
Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
