A member asked:
I live in india and i think i have tinea capitis...can you prescribe oral medicines for the same?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antifungals: Tinea capitis can be treated by a number of antifungals from Griseofulvin to terbinafine or fluconazole. However, i would recommend seeing a doctor to make sure the diagnosis is right as well as the appropriate dose; it is improper to do an exact prescription without knowing/examining the patient.
