Ring Worms
I have been having Ring Worms all over my body, since a couple of months, I have it on my chest, my genital, hand and leg. They are growing back and back, I have consulted my regular family doctor, he gave me creams like Serta Cream and Funzi-M Cream, I applied them ring worms used to go, but then they come back again. And it makes me scratch them alot. And sometimes after I scratch it kinda bleeds too, especially near the genitals it's really painful. Consult me what to do? Thank-you

Greetings
This is fungal infection called tinea corporis..
Funzi M is a steroid based cream which should never be used in fungal infection..
You need oral antifungal tabler and plain antifungal cream which need to be applied morning and night for 4-6 weeks without a break..
Consult any nearby dermatologist,they can prescribe you appropriate dose of antifungal tablet and creams .
Next Steps
stop funzi m or any other steroid based cream.
It is contagious,so if any of your family members are affected,get them also treated or else it keeps spreading..
Health Tips
Take bath twice if you sweat a lot..
Do not share your soap,towels or clothes
avoid scratching, if you do so,wash your hands immediately
change clothes daily
