Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Ringworm: Symptoms of ringworm include scaly, red patches of skin that itches and may blister. It may be a red circle with a center of normal skin (which is why it looks like a ring). Your doctor can identify ringworm.

I went to a MinuteClinic thinking I had ringworm. They diagnosed me with a fungal infection, and I've been using clotrimazole cream for the past two+ weeks. However, the infection has gotten way bigger, and sometimes itchier. I'm not sure what to do?
