A member asked:

How do you treat a ringworm infection on the inner thigh?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Ferguson answered

OTC meds: Tinactin (tolnaftate) is an OTC that is applied twice daily. It should provide improvement within 2 weeks, if not it may not be ringworm.

Dr Pizzo and another doctor agreed
