A member asked:
Can nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo be used in a 8 year old children's skin to treat ringworm? if so, how many times a day, how and for how long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be certain : You are treating the right condition as other rashes can appear similar to ringworm, such as pityriasis. Have your child's doctor confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment .
