It is not activity!: It is your immune system. I have four children. One has gotten tinea. All exercise to extreme. You need ketoconazole (200mg) times seven days, then two per week for one month. You also need vto bleach clean your exercise clothing and bed sheets. Zinc (50 mg of zinc gluconate) will also bolter your immune system. Bathing with keotconazole shampoo really helps!
