You might be surprised to learn that fungus, not a worm, causes ringworm infection.
The first and most important step to treat or cure a ringworm is:
Counseling : What is the cause of ringworm infection?
Ringworm infection is caused by dermatophytes that can thrive on skin, hair and nails. It is primarily caused by direct contact with the fungi. This can happen through contact with an infected person or by contact with fomites of the infected person such as towels, bedsheets, combs, clothes etc. It usually develops on crural folds (tinea cruris) and buttocks and can spread to other parts due to excessive humidity and moisture in these parts. Poor hygiene and a hot and humid environment can play an important role in increased risk of developing ringworm infection.
How does it evolve?
The lesion typically begins with the involvement of a small circular area which enlarges over a period of time to involve more and more area in the annular (ring) pattern associated with itching which can spread to other areas as well. Click here to read more.
Precaution and hygiene:
Good hygiene habits are essential to prevent the spread of ringworm infection. Make sure to keep and wash clothes, towel, bed sheets separately of an infected person to prevent its spread. Avoid sharing personal items. Make a habit of wearing loose fitting, cotton clothes and keep your inner parts dry as moist will provide a hospitable environment for fungi to thrive. By practicing good hygiene habits, you can help prevent the spread of fungal infections and keep everyone in the family healthy.
Course completion advice:
It's important to follow the ringworm infection treatment plan prescribed by a dermatologist and to continue the treatment of a ring worm infection, take oral medications as well as apply topical medications such as ring worm cream for the full duration, even if symptoms improve. This can help prevent the relapse, recurrence or becoming more severe with the development of drug-resistant strains.
Sibling management:
When one person in a household has a ringworm infection, it's important to treat all members with ringworm infection treatment which includes ring worm cream simultaneously to prevent re-infection. Fungal infections can easily spread between family members, especially if they share personal items. Treating all members at once can help ensure that the infection is fully eradicated from the household. Click here to read more.

Now, let us explore possible treatment options for a ringworm: how to treat it?
Treatment of a ringworm infection includes anti-fungal medications both oral in the form of capsule and a tablet as well as topical medications such as ring worm cream, ointments, gels, lotions, powder.
For oral use of ring worm infection treatment, antifungal tablets and capsules such as itraconazole, fluconazole, terbinafine and griseofulvin are used and frequently prescribed by the dermatologists.
Topically, treatment of ring worm infection include antifungal creams or ringworm cream such as ketoconazole, luliconazole, amorolfine, oxiconazole are being used.
If the infection recurs even after the completion of the full duration of the course, certain blood investigations can also be carried out.
It is important to preserve the utility of the current antifungals by avoiding overusing them.
