I have ringworm & tinea versicolor. in addition to using scrip nizoral (ketoconazole 2%) as a body wash, can i apply lotrimin on affected area after?

Yes: Follow OTC directions on box or a doctors prescriptions for best outcome. You can always do your own thing with OTC pharmacy meds. They are safe to use. The pharmacist can guide you if you get stuck.
