Hello, I m am so fustrated. My baby got a hair fungus about three months ago and I was given clotrimazole 1% cream which I have read do not work on head fungus. She has two bald spots and her hair is constantly breaking. She also have had 7 ringworm since. Everytime on clear another on show up. I have also contracted one on my arm. I am washing the linen every other day and also her cloth. I have bleached the whole house down. Please help me and tell me what should I do, thanks.
Hi Dear welcome to the Chat Doctor, this can be labelled as Tania corporal. 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
