Hi i have had ringworm on my nose for a few weeks. the doc prescribed daktakort and i've used it for a week and it's still red. can it take a while?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dakakort: Not familiar with dakakort but if indeed it is ringworm then an oral antifungal like Lamisil (terbinafine) is indicated. See a derm for a simple test to make sure it is ringworm.
