A member asked:
Good evening we are struggling with a ringworm. are applying covarex cream we got from the pharmacist but it does not seem to get smaller? what else can we use please?

Hard to say: If a good medication does not help the problem the diagnosis may be wrong. When it treats a ringworm it does not get smaller, the skin disruption just fades over a period of 2-3 weeks. Clotrimazole or tinactin are other antifungals may be available in your location.
