Are there other things to treat ringworm other than antifungal cream?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends upon site: Ringworm on the skin not involving scalp generally responds well to antifungal cream. The one involving scalp, however, requires systemic treatment for long period, e.g. Griseofulvin.
