How to treat ring worm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Treatment for ringworm depends on where the infection is on your body and how serious it is. In many cases, your doctor may recommend a drug which you can buy over-the-counter (OTC) such as Lotrimin. If ringworm is on your scalp or in many different places on your body OTC treatment may not be enough. An antifungal drug that you’ll have to take by mouth for 1 to 3 months may be prescribed!
