How to treat tinea capitis for the second time? different meds or same meds as last time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you use the medicine not long enough, you are not going to see the result, not the problem with the medicine. A minimum of 3 months for griseofulvin, 2 months of ketoconazole, terbinafine, etc. If you try long enough, not working, then shift to another.
