Suggest Treatment For Ring Worms

I noticed a week or so ago a circular slightly red spot on the upper inner part of my arm. It does not burn or itch and it is not raised. When I first saw it I thought maybe it could be ringworm. I don't know what I had that thought, but did. Then a few days ago I noticed what looks like small red callouses on top of the same two fingers on both hands. They are not dry, don't burn or itch. This morning, I discovered that I had sllightly round reddish/violet spots (the size of a lemon) in the groin area on both thighs. Again, no burning itching or pain of any sort. I just read something about flesh eating diseases and am worried I may have something like that.

I do not take any meds; only vitamins D and B12 (which may be low at this time).



Thank you for any information on this. I am getting an appointment with a dermatologist this week, but in the meantime, I am concerned because I have never had or seen anything like this. It's not grotesque or anything, but not narmal.

Hi, happy to help you on your health concern on part of HCM!

In the present case of tinea corporis and cruris or ring worm infection I would suggest a combination of clotrimazole or miconazole/genatamycin and clobetasol like low dose steroid for 1 month. Please contact your local doctor for a prescription!

Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries.

Wishing you the best health!
