My 4 yro has ringworm under his chin. i've been using blue star ointment on it but do i have to take him to doctors or can i continue the ointment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OTC antifungals: Can be used for ringworm. It should resolve within 2 weeks of treatment. If it does not, or if it gets worse, then go see your doctor, it could be something else.
