A member asked:
I've been diagnosed with ring worm and giving ketoconazole cream for it and also prednisone but it continues to spread, to places well covered ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You may need: oral Nizoral or Lamisil (terbinafine). Prednisone is not usually used except for severe cases, since it can prolong a fungal infection.
