A member asked:

I'm taking fluzol for ringworm. i've read this can affect the nexplanon implant. should i stop taking the fluzol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Since common ringworm (skin surface) is easily killed off by topical creams (nystatin, clotrimazole) they may be a better choice. If your issue is in the scalp you need to discuss this with your doc.
