A member asked:

I have ringworm and i would like to get rid of it as soon as possible i have had it now for over 5 years?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You need a pres-: cription for an antifungal agent,like cicloprox gel,to get rid of this quickly. You can try OTC lamisil (terbinafine) and see if it works,but it may take weeks.
