Hi. Clobetasol is never advised in ringworm infection and on long term use it will just damage your skin. Initially it reduces itching and rashes due to its antiinflammatory effect but can never kill the fungus. So there wil be persistence of fungal infection with more number of lesions. Visit nearest dermatolgist in person if possible or online .thanks.

You should contain the treatment for long time and maintain the hygiene which can dissolve it completely and you will not get again this is the only way you can solve it and which medicine you are taking you can continue it this is the good treatment plan thank you.
