HI
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
Sorry to hear you have been suffering with Ringworm
I know Fighting such an infection with no success for long can be very frustrating.You are surely suffering from what is generally called Treatment-Resistant-Ringworm.I will suggest you see a Dermatologist, a skin expert if your Doctor is not one.Here are a few things that may help you to get rid of your infection.
-It could be something else since there are other skin conditions that may look like ringworm for example Granuloma annulare which is an inflammatory skin disease.
-The disease might need multiple ringworm cures consisting of multiple topical agents and oral medicines for 6 to 8 weeks.
-The ringworm might be due to a different specie of fungi.
With all these possibilities, i will suggest you see a Dermatologist for a culture/biopsy of the skin.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
