Hello
My condition has spread
@@bigd8812 did you also try to use a tablet like grisoflueven? Not sure about the spelling. In addition to the cream you can try to take oral tablets for a month. A doctor can prescribe. That's what am taking in addition to applying candid B cream to the affected area. This was a previous prescription that I got for a fungal infection which worked great.
Clotrimazole, not steroid cream?
@@bharathin1244 exactly.
I appreciate the hope that you convey. Probably the biggest challenge in having jock itch, is the mental battle and overall feelings of disgust and embarrassment. Thanks Dr.
Hello, Good day and thank you for the knowledge.
Beautiful doctor ! Always right on point 😀👍👍👍
You forgot to mention the most important thing... Wash all things that come in contact with your skin (clothes, towels, sheets) with the hottest water possible or with bleach or antifungal wash, AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. Chucking them into a dryer helps too, and I do these with comforters and pillows. These fungi transfer to fabrics upon contact and survive regular cold laundry cycles. No matter how often you treat the ringworm, it will come back again if your skin comes into contact with infected fabrics.
keep up the good work, you are amzing
Thank YOU -- you made my day. Glad to hear it was useful info for ya in any way. (and what a fitting name for someone who comments on this page!)
Thankyou for sharing. Hope to be recovered soon
Thanks for sharing this video Doc...i will get that cream n hope it will work as U have explained...thanks again
Donato Cho my pleasure, thank you for watching!
@@MajdMD itz something dat popped up without any warning too....but Ur explanation was quite clear n understandable,,,thankz again
Thank you from Vietnam
Can I use old medicated Ketoconazole shampoo? I haven’t opened the container so will it still be effective or will I need to throw it away?
Any home remedies you would suggest since it's lock down and my ointment finished 2days before and it even started itching again
very good video
Thank you so much I’m 10 and I have 2 of them
Thanks, Doctor Majd for this valuable guidance. Google says "Ringworm on the body is usually treated with a topical ointment such as clotrimazole and miconazole. A four-week course is common, but the time can vary. With treatment, a ringworm infection on a part of the body without hair (glabrous skin) is likely to clear up within two to four weeks of the start of treatment".
Yep -- exactly correct. Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!
Majd MD
When I apply the clotrimazole, do I blow dry it afterwords or let it dry on its own? It’s on my thigh, this being dark and covered by clothing
@@fathead24241 Either way it's fine. It typically takes a few minutes to "sink in" to the skin so you can let it dry on its own if you're not in a hurry :)
Can you mention the brand name because there are so many company?
Maam can we use clotrimazole for white patches . if not can u give best cream to use
Hi doc. Is clobetasol propionate( Glevate) can cure ringworm?
hello doctor! am i able to still use a regular body lotion if i’ve been treating with lotramine and another cream, as well as with a medicated dandruff shampoo per my doctors orders, or will it spread it further? the creams on top of the weather have been drying my skin out and making it painfully dry, so i’m wondering if lotion is ok? i haven’t been able to find any information Anywhere!!! i’ve scoured google, reddit, youtube, everywhere! thank you in advance if you see this, love your content ♥️
and if i am able to, would i apply the non medicated body lotion directly after my shower and then apply my creams on after? or do i wait for my anti fungal creams to absorb completely and then proceed to apply lotion. (i have tinea corporis i believe is how you spell it)
Can u tell us how to treat the ringworm on our scalp
Ive been using for 3 days now after 2 months of thinking it was eczema or an allergic reaction. Its under both eyes from a beauty blender sponge. Never forget to wash and dry your makeup tools!!!
Today I will faithfully start the 3x a day treatment , thank you miss Dr.
Did it work?
Hi did it work
Is Dr. S Wong's bioderm ointment also helpful in treating ringworm? Please reply i've been suffering from ringworm for almost 6 months 🥺
I've never heard of it. But ringworm is a fungus, so it really requires an antifungal -- so if that topical contains and antifungal then it should work.
The first time I've got some red Rashes on my cheeks and I visited dr ,he sujjested me this fluticosane cream which worked really great ,like for the next day , the inflammation was completely gone.
A week on later I started finding some tiny read scaly patches to be very itchy and are growing in size .yet I continued to use the same fluticosane for days .
Now after watching your vedio I came to understand the reason for this wide spread of ringworm is my steroid cream and now I've stopped using it and got clotrimazole cream and using it now . Hoping for a quick results with your best vedio .
Also with that I would like to use apple cider vinegar three times a day , In looking for quick a recovery.
Thank you mam.
but for the more sweaty people like me, its really hard to disinfact with this terbinafine and clotrimazole creams could u plz suggest the strong medicines than those...need it really
next step would be prescription antifungals -- but they are tough on the liver so it's vital to discuss with your doctor.
I’ve used the creams none stop for years and the moment I stop they reappear.
Me too. I've had it for over 30 years. Now I clean it with bleach, will see what happens.
Try oregano oil diluted with coconut oil, or sunscreen these two work for my toddler, even though it comes back again🥵
maybe your skin got used to it?
Same
Had it for 7 years. Gone in 2 days. Tea tree oil. Cheap, available, natural, and Very effective.
I got it a few months ago and the red has gone away completely but the circle is still there just shades lighter than my skin tone, how can I make it match my skin tone
I'm using terbinafine cream, is that efficient?
Guys I have a question, i have this fungicide thing and I’m putting cream for it to go and if it goes away will it live a mark and if it lives a mark for how long will it be left plz let me know
Excellent video Dr Majd! Thank you. A female friend has some of kind of infection on her scalp she has been told is ringworm. You talked about Clotrimazole for treatment. She has been given Ketoconazole, which is supposedly another ointment for this infection. Is that a good substitute, or should she consider switching to the Clotrimazole? Do you recommend any particular shampoos to help with this, or just the Clotrimazole and regular shampooing? You said it could take up to a month to get rid of this? Wait for at least a week or so to see any improvements?
Ringworm on the scalp may be even tougher to eradicate than on the body (sometimes it requires oral antifungals). But i'm wondering if what she has is a different type of fungus? It's not common on the scalp in adults in the U.S. But Ketoconazole does have a shampoo, so perhaps that is why she was prescribed that one. Otherwise, other over the counter shampoos also contain ketoconazole (like Nizoral). I would always recommend that people follow their own doctor's advice, especially since i have not seen it or know her as a patient :) Hope that helps.
@@MajdMD Your comments help a lot Dr. :) Thank you! Her head was itching and sore and she wanted me to look at it and take pictures to see what it looked like. Then she supposedly went to a hair stylist who knew how to treat this. I think it should be a dermatologist. Yes?
ARTHUR GRIMES My pleasure! I typically tell people to start with their primary doctor - most skin issues can be easily handled by primary care.
Thanks information mam I'm from Meghalaya India 👍👍👍👍
Is it ok to use triamcinolone 0.1% cream?
What should I do to make my color fair because my color has become dark after my delivery and have very dark circles . And patches on chicks .I'm a lectic mother.
I delivered 3months ago
You may be referring to "melasma"? If so, this is common on the face of women after pregnancy and hormonal contraceptives. There are prescription skin lighteners you can ask your doctor about. www.health.harvard.edu/womens-health/unmasking-the-causes-and-treatments-of-melasma
Thank u ihave it between by legand bottom
Thank you
my pleasure!
I recently got ringworm during a wrestling practice I was embarrassed to tell my coach so I just told him I burnt my self and asked to cover it up!😬 then I found you and I got some cream to eraid it thank you!
Can it transfer by touch even tho I don’t touch the affected area ?
can i use any powder on that part to reduce moisture and infection . i am using tab from 2years 😓😓
Hello Please confirm if this is okay? Clotrimozale Tapicol?
it's what i discuss in the video!
Wish I had known Tip #3 two weeks ago… went to urgent care and was prescribed Clobetasol and the rashes exploded, as in doubled and tripled the size… just got Lamisil today and here’s hope to getting rid of the rash in a couple more weeks
How did it go?
Can you spread it to other body parts when you shower? Will showering with antibacterial soap upon returning from the gym kill it?
I suppose it's possible to spread it in the shower, but unlikely. But touching it and then touching another body area can spread it. Showering will kill it as long as it hasn't penetrated and set up shop. But once it has, it requires more treatment. Hope that helps.
I have been using a cream called Daktacort which is Miconazole nitrate and Hydrocortisone. Is this OK for ring worm?
The miconazole part is an antifungal that can be used for ringworm. The hydrocortisone part is a steroid, however, and although it can help with itching it may worsen ringworm. It can be tried, but miconazole alone would be more ideal. If you don't seem improvement through time or any worsening, i'd switch the the plain miconazole.
Can i use Amorolfine cream as i am not able to find your mentioned cream anywhere?
Aliasgar Shakir from what i seen the cream helps but it’s not effective enough on its own
I have a question..I noticed a round red circle just below my armpit. Inside the circle the skin is normal. It isn't raised and doesn't itch at all. I wouldn't have known it was there unless I've seen it.. what is it?..I had ring worm when I was a kid..I remember it itching. This doesn't itch at all. Theres no scales inside the ring either.
Castor soap soak the area for as long as possible several times when u have the time and anti fungal creams 2-3x a day but I’d say apply every hour
Can I use it on my face. Please tell me how to treat ring worm to get rid on my face
Want faster results? Use full strength Apple Cider Vinegar 3X a day on a cloth for 10 minutes each time. Rub the affected area then let the soaked cloth sit on your skin. Any cuts or abrasions will burn if the vinegar gets in it. You'll notice a difference in 3 days. The acid in the vinegar will burn the ring and it'll take some time for the area to clear up from the burn marks.
Hi Dr. Majd, thank you for this information! I started using Clotrimazol Canesten cream a week ago. How long for this to disappear? does it take months? Thank you in advance.
my pleasure! If it truly is ringworm, it shouldn't be months, but weeks (usually by 1 month it's resolved) if used 2-3 times a day. You should see it gradually disappearing.
I'm from India, I have ringworm on side of my neck.Can I apply the paste of neem leaves on it ? Will it work?
I have searched which ointment contains clotimazole....it is showing Kancel DS gel....Surfaz SN .... which should I buy..... please doctor help me to overcome this ringworm...due to lockdown I can't not consult with dermatologist
Doc, is derobin help to kill ringworm ?
Will it work like go away forever because my grandma brings my mom some cream from Mexico and when she puts it on it go’s away and comes back it’s called gelmicin but she doesn’t put it on every day
Adrian Benavides it depends on the person and how they treat it for some people it will be gone and others the fungus will keep coming back
I use clotrimazole and leave it overnight. Is that okay.?? And also when I wake up in the morning it's itchy.
Isit normal to have a rash that looks like ringworm but it doesn't itch? Cuz I have 1 here. But it doesn't seem to itch. I'm abit worried. I don't want it to spread aswell. Isit okay to just put the fungul cream?
I kept getting this in my goatee area only on right side would take months to get rid of be gone for a 6 months to year then return now its returned but under my arm dosent itch or anything but my skin on right side of my goatee never felt the same even the hair feels thicker irritated and where i had the infection I get pili multigemini
I have had mine for like 2 months now and it just finally looks like it's getting a little better, is it normal to last this long? My doctor said to just keep applying the cream
Also...is tolnaftate a good cream or should i get one mentioned in the video?
I still got the dark mark patches which usually becomes red sometimes when im heavy sweating or workout.. does this mean the fungi are not yet killed and have chances to get back??
Same. What to dodoc?
Buy the brand called defense soap
When we were kids we used finger nail polish and it worked every time. But I think the nail polish is different now. Last time I tried it didn’t work as good.
What to use if ringworm in on the scalp in the hair? What to use?

Please help I think I have ring worm on my scalp. A week ago I was experiencing really itchy scalp and burning. I put aquaphor on it and it made it worse. It started spreading like wild fire today on my scalp. I feel a small raised and hard bump in the center. Ive lost a good amount of hair at crown of my scalp. Idk what to do. Please give advice.
It could be various things -- allergic reaction, ringworm, alopecia, an infected cyst, etc. I'd highly encourage you to consult with your doctor.
Doctor, my ringworm is slowly growing and almost close to my eye. Is there a chance that I can be blind?

Didn't know it was antifungal must have something in it
Dr, is there a shot to treat it? If yes is it bad for the liver too? Thanks.
Y.K. Not in the U.S., no outpatient “shots.”
It keeps coming back!!!!!
i tell my patients to apply the cream until it's gone PLUS one more week to ensure microscopic amts are also gone.
m123 make sure to do a super clean of your house after it’s gone reason why is it takes one spur to get a 2nd infection started
You can also prefer homeopathic medicine, it will slowly and gradually cure your ring worm permanently.
Mam I have a ringworm on my back side of neck ..kindly prescribe me some medicine 💊

Help! I found one ringworm on my arm, I caught it late, by the time i went to the doctor he had me buy some cream over counter, then in a week or so It spread all over my body from feet to nose back and front. I went back to see Dr. And he has me on fluconazole now. I’ve been taking it for over a month now once a week and it keeps re appearing, I’m still applying cream, also the powder anti fungus also.
Nothing seems to work, it has severely taken over my belly on the lower front, I’ve had this since mid november 2021 !
Before i goto the grocery store and buy all their garlic and take a bath in it …is there anything else I can use? It also gives me horrible cramps
Are you cured? Similar case also caught it a month late before it started spreading immediately after starting treatment
@@Thiswuan I took fluconazole, which my doctor prescribed, one pill once a week, it took about a month and a half for it to go away. it spreads fast, but they weren’t itchy but annoying. My girlfriend never got it. It started as a red ring on my right tricep area I didn’t know what it was until it was too late and spreading, all over my back, butt, arms legs and feet also, neck.. if you don’t want to spread it, keep to yourself as much as possible, take showers last if you share it with someone else, and the pill will attack it, and they will fade away, the last ones I had were just above my ankles and calf area, after they faded I haven’t seen them since. Instead of using creams that are $15 a small tube…just get the pill from your doctor asap , good luck !
