I am pretty sure my son has infantile. He just finished wrestling. He is currently treating a spot on his wrist for ringworm. He has in the past on the side of his face used Lucimin 1%. For what they thought was a staff infection. This time he had the crusted over on his ear and now the red spots on the side o f his face. What should he do this time. They did prescribe an oral something last time. I cant seem to get through to him the importance of cleansing that spot three times a day with soap and water. Then use the cream. What do you recommend?
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor ...... Noted you have ring worm infection that is fungal infection of superficial tissue........ Here yes topical antifungal cream(clotrimazole) need to be applied... Wash the area with water and keep it clean..... Avoid moisture at that site...... Avoid tight clothing... Clean the cloths with warm water...daily. Daily clean and Chat Doctor. ...Bedsheet washed frequently... Here as face also getting affected oral fluconazole can be taken..... It will take approx. 2 to 4 weeks for complete clearance.... You can consult dermatologist with keeping these in mind..... Hope your concern solved........ Take care.
