Ringworm which is not going away
I was diagnosed with a fungal infection 1.5 months ago and I was advised to take itroconazole 200mg for the first month and continue taking itroconazole 100mg orally for the next two month. I have completed 1.5 months of medication but the itch and the infection is not going away. I take care of my hygiene quite well by washing my clothes with warm water as well. Do I need another diagnosis or is it just taking time?
