I am a dermatologist with my special interest in tele-dermatology.

Let me introduce you to what Ringworm is. Ringworm is actually a fungal infection. It is not any kind of worm and it develops because of excessive humidity, moisture in your inner part, though it can also develop at other body parts because of cross infection.

The lesion typically begins with the involvement of a small circular area which enlarges over a period of time associated with itching and it can spread to other areas as well. Now let me come to the main part, the treatment part. Ring worm infection medicine or ring worm medicine should be started from day one of its suspicion. 

If you feel that you are developing any circular lesion and it is enlarging in size, you should immediately consult your dermatologist. It is strongly recommended as we are specialized in treating Ringworms.

If you do, it is recommended that you should not consult the general practitioner. There are lot of modalities available in the market for treatment of ringworm such as oral and topical antifungal agents that includes ringworm treatment tablets such as itraconazole, fluconazole, terbinafine as an oral antifungal agent and ringworm treatment cream like luliconazole, ketoconazole, amorolfine, as a topical antifungal agents. Lot of companies have come with ring worm soap cleansing agents, cleansing solutions with the appeal that they can treat the ringworm with the help of this ring worm soap and with the help of cleansing agents. But those things are not FDA approved. So there are a lot of agents into the market available, a lot of modalities.

Treatment duration:

The treatment duration depends on how much infection has spread out. It also depends on the body weight of the person as well as on any simultaneous illness.

Prevention and Hygiene:

Maintaining hygiene is essential to prevent the spread of ringworm infection. To prevent its spread, ensure that the clothes, sheets of the infected person are kept separate. Avoid sharing personal items. Make it a habit to wear loose-fitting, cotton clothes and keep your body parts dry as moisture can cause fungal germs to thrive and cause ringworm. By following good hygiene, you can help prevent the spread of fungal infections and keep everyone healthy.

Sibling Management:

When one person in a household has a ringworm infection, the infection is likely to spread to other members of the household and it is important for all members of the household to take ringworm medication together to prevent this from happening if other members have ringworm. Fungal infections can easily spread among family members, especially if they share personal items. Treating all members together can help ensure that the infection is completely eradicated from the household.

I would like to specifically cover certain loopholes in the ring worm infection medicine or ring worm medicine or treatment. I strongly say that you should not use any kind of home remedies. Home remedies such as garlic paste, onion oil. It can, because of its acidic nature, burn out the upper layer of the skin, but it is not going to destroy the fungi. As a result it is going to regrow and you are going to develop the infection again. So those things are not curative. Additionally, it can burn your skin, it can damage your skin.

I would also like to stress out that you should avoid steroid containing agents that include oral as well as topical. Lots of over the counter medications in the market which contain steroids may give you some immediate relief, but it is not going to destroy the fungi and eventually it will regrow and It would regrow with more damaging effects.

Steroid itself has its own big basket of side effects. So I will say that it's better not to use steroids, not to go with home remedies. So in nutshell, Ringworm treatment is a specialized subject for dermatologists.

Patients should take care of treatment duration, dosage of ring worm medicine or ring worm infection medicine and avoid wrong medication. Patients have to take care of their hygiene, their personal care, as well as preventing spread of the infection. We have arranged a separate blog for hygiene management and personal care in patients of Ringworm.

So, to conclude, if you are someone having a ringworm and looking for a ring worm medicine or ring worm infection medicine like ringworm treatment tablets and ringworm treatment cream then i would always recommend to consult a dermatologist at earliest and not to look for any home remedies as dermatologist is an expert to treat your ringworm and can prescribe you ring worm medicine or ring worm infection medicine like ringworm treatment tablets and ringworm treatment cream and also can provide you with valuable advices.
