A member asked:
I have ringworm and was wondering if it is okay to use tree tea oil to cleanse the area and then apply clotrimazole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It would be better to use just soap and water, dry the area and apply antifungal ointment. If it does not get better in a few days, it would be prudent to see your doctor to rule out other lesions.
