I have a rash that looks like ring worm all over my body it itchs so bad but antibacterial cream isnt helping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrong medication: Ringworm, despite it's name, is actually caused by a fungus. Antibacterial cream will not help. An antifungal such as miconazole or clotrimazole will be more helpful, but needs to be applied twice daily for 3-4 weeks. If it's not improving over 1-2 weeks, you should consult your physician.
