A member asked:
If my daughter doesn't have ringworm, why does the doctor say she needs to continue with griseofulvin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fungal infection: Griseofulvin is an antifungal medication that is used to treat resistant fungal infections and especially frequently used for tinea capitus (kerion) - which is a fungal infection in the hair or scalp. There may be associated hair loss or brittle hair with this type of infection. If you need further information, please request virtual consult.
