Q: safe topical creams to treat ringworm on my legs. 8 weeks pregnant ,and i'm not sure what topical creams that i can use?

OTC fine: Topical creams &amp; lotions available for this problem do not penetrate the skin deep enough to cause a problem.Only medications that reach the bloodstream. like injected or oral meds should be considered a possible problem.
