Hi, my son has ring worm on neck and scalp. i have tried topical antifungal creams, but the ring worms came back.

Scalp needs more: Topical agents can never get to the root of hair that is infected with such a fungus.You need to see your kids doc and let them confirm the problem and prescribe a med that will actually reach/kill the fungus.
