Hi,
If it is a confirmed case of tinea corporis( ring worm of body) which is not responding to miconazole topical therapy, the best option is to take oral antifungal like fluconazole or terbinafine along with topical treatment to get complete relief. Fungal infections are totally curable. If the lesions are too itchy taking an oral antihistaminic like cetirizine would be helpful. Hope that answers your query. Take care.
