A member asked:
I have ringworms. i applied an antifungal cream. now the spots and a large part surrounding it is red, itchy and swollen. why and how can i stop this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rash: May not be ringworm… Go see a doctor to get evaluated as an anti fungal cream should help with the issue, the issue should not be getting worse. You may also be allergic to the cream you applied.
