<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have been using ring guard cream for 18 days. The infection got a little better but after 2 days red spots began to appear on the infection area. So i stopped using the ring guard. So what to do now? The skin infection is still there and severe. Its on the neck and above the thigh area.  <response>: Hi!! According to your history it seems to be a case of ringworm infection as initially you had improvement in your skin lesion after applying ring guard. I would recommend you to take oral terminating 250 mg once daily and apply terminating cream over the affected area twice daily. This has to be continued for 4 weeks so that the infection doesnt recur after stopping the medicine. Besides this dont share your soap and towel, stay in a cool and airy environment and wear loose cotton clothes. Hope for your speedy recovery.
