A member asked:
What to do for ring worm besides antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not antibiotics: Ringworm is a fungal infection, often the same one that causes athletes foot or "jock itch". As such most antibiotics not only won't help but may even make it worse. Use an good antifungal cream first if it doesn't help see your doctor.
