@@bigd8812 did you also try to use a tablet like grisoflueven? Not sure about the spelling. In addition to the cream you can try to take oral tablets for a month. A doctor can prescribe. That's what am taking in addition to applying candid B cream to the affected area. This was a previous prescription that I got for a fungal infection which worked great.
I appreciate the hope that you convey. Probably the biggest challenge in having jock itch, is the mental battle and overall feelings of disgust and embarrassment. Thanks Dr.
You forgot to mention the most important thing... Wash all things that come in contact with your skin (clothes, towels, sheets) with the hottest water possible or with bleach or antifungal wash, AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. Chucking them into a dryer helps too, and I do these with comforters and pillows. These fungi transfer to fabrics upon contact and survive regular cold laundry cycles. No matter how often you treat the ringworm, it will come back again if your skin comes into contact with infected fabrics.
Want faster results? Use full strength Apple Cider Vinegar 3X a day on a cloth for 10 minutes each time. Rub the affected area then let the soaked cloth sit on your skin. Any cuts or abrasions will burn if the vinegar gets in it. You'll notice a difference in 3 days. The acid in the vinegar will burn the ring and it'll take some time for the area to clear up from the burn marks.
Thanks, Doctor Majd for this valuable guidance. Google says "Ringworm on the body is usually treated with a topical ointment such as clotrimazole and miconazole. A four-week course is common, but the time can vary. With treatment, a ringworm infection on a part of the body without hair (glabrous skin) is likely to clear up within two to four weeks of the start of treatment".
@@fathead24241 Either way it's fine. It typically takes a few minutes to "sink in" to the skin so you can let it dry on its own if you're not in a hurry :)
Wish I had known Tip #3 two weeks ago… went to urgent care and was prescribed Clobetasol and the rashes exploded, as in doubled and tripled the size… just got Lamisil today and here’s hope to getting rid of the rash in a couple more weeks
MAKE SURE YOU ARE DISINFECTING YOUR CLOTHING AND SHEETS HATS JACKETS AND SOCKS UNDERWEAR ADDING A SMALL SPLASH OF BLEACH IN YOUR WASH WASHING YOUR COMBS AND WASHCLOTHS AND TOWELS AND YOUR CAR SEAT STEAM CLEANING WITH A SEAT COVER IS BEST... IF YOU ARE FAITHFULLY APPLYING THE JOCK ITCH CREAM YOU CAN BUY OTC AND YOU ARE BATHING DAILY AND WHEN YOU WORK OUT YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR CLOTHES INTO THE WASH OR IN A SEPARATE BAG SO YOU ARE NOT TOUCHING THEM AND YOU ARE NOT PUTTING A BASEBALL CAP ON OVER YOUR SWEATY HEAD FUNGUS ,GROWS IN WARM MOIST AREAS... IF YOU ARE DOING ALL OF THIS AND STILL HAVING ISSUES YOU MAY REQUIRE AN ORAL ANTIFUNGAL MEDICATION DO NOT USE HYDROCORTISONE! ALSO, USING POWDER TO KEEP YOUR AREAS DRY AND SHOWERING DAILY WASHING SHEETS AND PILLOW CASES EVEN TOSSING YOUR PILLOW INTO THE WASH OR AT THE VERY LEAST HITTING IT WITH A STEAM CLEANER OR TOSSING IT INTO THE HOT CLOTHES DRYER ALONG WITH A WET HAND TOWEL CAN SANITIZE IT AT LEAST PARTIALLY BUT NOTHING BEATS WASHING YOUR PILLOWS.. COMBS TOWELS KEEP IT CLEAN AND DRY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS... GIVE IT AT LEAST TWO WEEKS OF STICKING WITH IT AND THEN CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU STILL HAVE ISSUES..
Ive been using for 3 days now after 2 months of thinking it was eczema or an allergic reaction. Its under both eyes from a beauty blender sponge. Never forget to wash and dry your makeup tools!!!
@@MajdMD God bless you all as u helping the people in my good way Need your help for my kidney stones removal It's very tough for me to survive with kidney stone .I have it from last 8 years . getting alots treatment of homeo and allopathy but no use.after my delivery the pain is more severe.
Thank you Jesus I’ve been using hydrocortisone forever! I noticed when I got scabies steroid shot it totally went away but now it’s back! Thank you for your info going to take your advice and get it asap and start treatment thank you !
The first time I've got some red Rashes on my cheeks and I visited dr ,he sujjested me this fluticosane cream which worked really great ,like for the next day , the inflammation was completely gone. A week on later I started finding some tiny read scaly patches to be very itchy and are growing in size .yet I continued to use the same fluticosane for days . Now after watching your vedio I came to understand the reason for this wide spread of ringworm is my steroid cream and now I've stopped using it and got clotrimazole cream and using it now . Hoping for a quick results with your best vedio . Also with that I would like to use apple cider vinegar three times a day , In looking for quick a recovery. Thank you mam.
I recently got ringworm during a wrestling practice I was embarrassed to tell my coach so I just told him I burnt my self and asked to cover it up!😬 then I found you and I got some cream to eraid it thank you!
I have a question..I noticed a round red circle just below my armpit. Inside the circle the skin is normal. It isn't raised and doesn't itch at all. I wouldn't have known it was there unless I've seen it.. what is it?..I had ring worm when I was a kid..I remember it itching. This doesn't itch at all. Theres no scales inside the ring either.
dr. i am already use Clotrimazole Itraconazole Luliconazole Ketoconazole by different doctors But ringworm still on my thighs I am totaly brokeup Plz help if u can
Mam pls help me I am suffering ringworm till January 2020 when I realise it's ringworm it was too late June 2020 my whole body parts with covered by big round ring I was using steroid cream fourderm but it has been spreading then I came to the doctor she gave me ATARAX 10mg, setraconazole nitrate and itraconazol 200mg for one month and when I stop রিং cames back against I'm worried about it and I want to get rid of this
@@sonalikapaul3480 Mine stopped with garlic, salt, olive oil, or salt and vinegar,....I lost it but rn I have it again on my genital area....it stings but this helps me in 1 week or more after doing many treatments,
Isit normal to have a rash that looks like ringworm but it doesn't itch? Cuz I have 1 here. But it doesn't seem to itch. I'm abit worried. I don't want it to spread aswell. Isit okay to just put the fungul cream?
I had one on my chin, I went to the doctor and they gave me oral medication, it removed them but a month or two later two more appeared on the same area. Asked the doctor for refill and it cured it, but now I have one on my top cheek area. :( Its so embarrassing
@@MasterahsokaI heard sometimes the pills make it worse before it gets better. Was this the case for you as to why more came around once you started the oral meds?
Excellent video Dr Majd! Thank you. A female friend has some of kind of infection on her scalp she has been told is ringworm. You talked about Clotrimazole for treatment. She has been given Ketoconazole, which is supposedly another ointment for this infection. Is that a good substitute, or should she consider switching to the Clotrimazole? Do you recommend any particular shampoos to help with this, or just the Clotrimazole and regular shampooing? You said it could take up to a month to get rid of this? Wait for at least a week or so to see any improvements?
Ringworm on the scalp may be even tougher to eradicate than on the body (sometimes it requires oral antifungals). But i'm wondering if what she has is a different type of fungus? It's not common on the scalp in adults in the U.S. But Ketoconazole does have a shampoo, so perhaps that is why she was prescribed that one. Otherwise, other over the counter shampoos also contain ketoconazole (like Nizoral). I would always recommend that people follow their own doctor's advice, especially since i have not seen it or know her as a patient :) Hope that helps.
@@MajdMD Your comments help a lot Dr. :) Thank you! Her head was itching and sore and she wanted me to look at it and take pictures to see what it looked like. Then she supposedly went to a hair stylist who knew how to treat this. I think it should be a dermatologist. Yes?
Adult 40, got ringworm around front body and thigh for 4 months, used Daktacort cream for 2 months, didn't work at all. Rashes appearing all over but Not itchy. Don't want oral medication.
I've never heard of it. But ringworm is a fungus, so it really requires an antifungal -- so if that topical contains and antifungal then it should work.
Hello mam plz help me I HV ringworm Nd it's already 2months I am suffering from...it's on my hand..but tiny... I HV consulted with dr.he said it will cure after 3months...after taking medicine... Will it cure mam..I am taking homeopathy
I got it a few months ago and the red has gone away completely but the circle is still there just shades lighter than my skin tone, how can I make it match my skin tone
It's really painful things. I've been facing this problem since last march! And it's on my face!!literally PAINFUL. T_T My doctor prescribed me a cream but it doesn't work much. Should i use it one more time??? P.s: English is my 2nd language pardon my mistakes
Only cream is not a proper treatment.its a critical disease. I have practically experienced. Now i am ok. Don't worry .Iwill give you a online treatment whatsapp number where I was treated . whatsapp number is 9830326107 . To be send a photo of the infected area .
What should I do to make my color fair because my color has become dark after my delivery and have very dark circles . And patches on chicks .I'm a lectic mother. I delivered 3months ago
You may be referring to "melasma"? If so, this is common on the face of women after pregnancy and hormonal contraceptives. There are prescription skin lighteners you can ask your doctor about. www.health.harvard.edu/womens-health/unmasking-the-causes-and-treatments-of-melasma
I have searched which ointment contains clotimazole....it is showing Kancel DS gel....Surfaz SN .... which should I buy..... please doctor help me to overcome this ringworm...due to lockdown I can't not consult with dermatologist
Will it work like go away forever because my grandma brings my mom some cream from Mexico and when she puts it on it go’s away and comes back it’s called gelmicin but she doesn’t put it on every day
Extreme case solved!!!Used Soak in a 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup of Epsom salt bath for 15 to 30 min twice a day..Also swimming at the beach will also help. TRUST !!!me it works. It will dry it out fast and even the few day that pass.. You will see a major difference
@@MajdMD hey I also use a miconazole+hydrocortisone combo for around 6 ish days and I'm stopping use due to the hydrocortisone as I want to get off steroids. I am gonna stick to clotrimazole, will I still heal?
I still got the dark mark patches which usually becomes red sometimes when im heavy sweating or workout.. does this mean the fungi are not yet killed and have chances to get back??
When we were kids we used finger nail polish and it worked every time. But I think the nail polish is different now. Last time I tried it didn’t work as good.
Hi ma'm i have tinea corporis. And it is not going away. M from india. And a working person. What will be the best ointment please tell me. And can i use fourderm?
POM&ROY i don’t know what “fourderm” is, i haven’t seen that in the U.S. but as i mention in the video, antifungals are first line - like clotrimazole, miconazole. The video goes into more detail. Thanks for watching!

Help! I found one ringworm on my arm, I caught it late, by the time i went to the doctor he had me buy some cream over counter, then in a week or so It spread all over my body from feet to nose back and front. I went back to see Dr. And he has me on fluconazole now. I’ve been taking it for over a month now once a week and it keeps re appearing, I’m still applying cream, also the powder anti fungus also. Nothing seems to work, it has severely taken over my belly on the lower front, I’ve had this since mid november 2021 ! Before i goto the grocery store and buy all their garlic and take a bath in it …is there anything else I can use? It also gives me horrible cramps
@@Thiswuan I took fluconazole, which my doctor prescribed, one pill once a week, it took about a month and a half for it to go away. it spreads fast, but they weren’t itchy but annoying. My girlfriend never got it. It started as a red ring on my right tricep area I didn’t know what it was until it was too late and spreading, all over my back, butt, arms legs and feet also, neck.. if you don’t want to spread it, keep to yourself as much as possible, take showers last if you share it with someone else, and the pill will attack it, and they will fade away, the last ones I had were just above my ankles and calf area, after they faded I haven’t seen them since. Instead of using creams that are $15 a small tube…just get the pill from your doctor asap , good luck !
Guys I have a question, i have this fungicide thing and I’m putting cream for it to go and if it goes away will it live a mark and if it lives a mark for how long will it be left plz let me know
It shouldn't as long as you fully eradicated it. I often tell my patients to use the topicals until completely resolved, PLUS one more week to make sure microscopic amounts are not present.
I have a ringworm for almost 3months now on top of my feet and it has trippled in size. I've tried all the cream including hydro peroxide 3% and also tried organic apple cider vinegar still not helping. I'm very worried now ?
I have had mine for like 2 months now and it just finally looks like it's getting a little better, is it normal to last this long? My doctor said to just keep applying the cream
I suppose it's possible to spread it in the shower, but unlikely. But touching it and then touching another body area can spread it. Showering will kill it as long as it hasn't penetrated and set up shop. But once it has, it requires more treatment. Hope that helps.
hello doctor! am i able to still use a regular body lotion if i’ve been treating with lotramine and another cream, as well as with a medicated dandruff shampoo per my doctors orders, or will it spread it further? the creams on top of the weather have been drying my skin out and making it painfully dry, so i’m wondering if lotion is ok? i haven’t been able to find any information Anywhere!!! i’ve scoured google, reddit, youtube, everywhere! thank you in advance if you see this, love your content ♥️
and if i am able to, would i apply the non medicated body lotion directly after my shower and then apply my creams on after? or do i wait for my anti fungal creams to absorb completely and then proceed to apply lotion. (i have tinea corporis i believe is how you spell it)
is it okay if i use terbinafine hydrochloride cream 1% and mupirocin ointment usp 2%? i got the first ringworm on my right outer thigh and after two week, i got the second ringworm on my right inner thigh and after a week, more ringworms started to appear on my legs and i’ve tried the mupirocin ointment but i feel like it just made it worse so i started using the terbinafine hydrochloride cream. what should i do?
@@ariellek5700 it it's not working use some other alternatives like miconazole If it was lotrimin(clotrimazole) ultra It will surely worsen the ringworm Because it has hydrochloride
Shamima Begum thank you for this, i had a feeling that cream made it worse cos every time i apply it , it becomes very itchy almost a stinging feeling. I just started using ketoconazole and pills that were recommended by the doctor 😌
I have ringworms on my hips area..I feel this after every periods time..it is also painful...suggest m a medicine or injection plz...when I use cream it really works ...but again repeated..the color of my skin of those area becomes dark ...its awful..really.....so mam if u help m then I m very thankful To u....
Hi Dr. Majd, thank you for this information! I started using Clotrimazol Canesten cream a week ago. How long for this to disappear? does it take months? Thank you in advance.
my pleasure! If it truly is ringworm, it shouldn't be months, but weeks (usually by 1 month it's resolved) if used 2-3 times a day. You should see it gradually disappearing.
Mam form two months i m suffering with ringworm in hand tighs and bellypart....i m use antifungal cream but no use, day by day it becaming big mam plzzz give me any guidance plzzz
Ok mam 👉 I am considered Dr. For 3 times....now ring worm is controlled but ...it's again little bit spreading in other area...y the reason ...?? I am not understanding mam
did you follow the recommendations from the video? Fungus is stubborn, and it often takes 2-3 time applications of the creams along with keeping the area dry for at least one month to get rid of it. And i always tell my patients -- use it until it's gone PLUS one more week to make sure every microscopic amount has been resolved. If this doesn't work, however, i really think a visit to the doctor should be the next step, as there are other conditions that can mimic ringworm.
@@jerkmacaui1018 Most doctors and offices are offering video visits in the U.S. now -- rashes can often be visualized on video. Rashes just require an examination, truthfully, it's not easy to discern what it is without seeing it.
Use itch guard ( terbinafine one) until it goes away completely . Instant relief from itchiness nd ringworm approximately it goes away buy the time u finish 3 of them.
Please help I think I have ring worm on my scalp. A week ago I was experiencing really itchy scalp and burning. I put aquaphor on it and it made it worse. It started spreading like wild fire today on my scalp. I feel a small raised and hard bump in the center. Ive lost a good amount of hair at crown of my scalp. Idk what to do. Please give advice.
grislove14 Yes, definitely possible - fungus loves the folds. This is also why candida intertrigo (another type of fungus) occurs there (i have a video on that, too).
I kept getting this in my goatee area only on right side would take months to get rid of be gone for a 6 months to year then return now its returned but under my arm dosent itch or anything but my skin on right side of my goatee never felt the same even the hair feels thicker irritated and where i had the infection I get pili multigemini
Good work by the goalkeeper to keep out a shot of that power. Now it's a corner here, for the team that is up by one goal. Oh that wasn't a great corner at all, you'd expect him to do better. I like this defender, he's very old school, just clearing his lines does it for him. A throw in for the opposition. Good teamwork by this team, their manager will be proud. Referee has awarded a free kick in a dangerous area, is he going to show him a card? He's shown him yellow, he will have to be careful now. Can they make anything from this free kick? He's going to shoot! Oh that wasn't on target, he's missed by miles. The countdown is on, 8 more minutes until full time, the score currently 1-0. The manager is going to try something different here, a fresh pair of legs should do the trick. Good job on the first touch but he has to work on keeping the ball, defender clearing his line here, just in time. Excellent chance here! Oh what a goal, no chance for the goalkeeper, you have to feel bad for him. The score now 2-0, and it seems obvious who is going to win. Oh you have to feel bad for him, he's pulled a muscle, and that concludes this match, final score 2-0, I am Martin Tyler and my assistant, Alan Smith, we are proud to have presented you this match, see you next time, goodbye
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen Are you sure you left a message for the right video lol? Unless your “players” here are actually suffering from ringworm and it’s effecting their performance :)
Yea when u have ringworm on the legs I find that technique of cutting off legs and getting yourself a fresh pair of legs from the pharmacy or local store
