Hi Dear
welcome to the HCM,
this can be labelled as Tenia corporis.
Oral antifungal to be given like terbinaforce.Dose and duration to be calculated by your pediatrician.
Nizral solution 2% shampoo to be done every third day. Rinse shampoo for about ten minuted and then wash with only plain water.
Antifungal cream available in the market clotrimazole cream thrice a day will help in reducing the local ring worms.
hope the query is answered.
thanks
