Ayurvedic medicines can cure your disease effectively.
First of all take precaution.... KEEP THE AREA ALWAYS DRY.
Fungal infection aggravates in wet areas and no medicine cures it in that condition.
Hope you will not need d medicines again and again after taking this precaution.

Hi, pls avoid using betamil gm oint since it contains a steroid and can make ringworm worse. Apply micogel twice a day for 2 weeks on affected areas. See a dermatologist if rash persists.

Fungal infection of the skin occurs because of sweating and exposure to fungal elements from contact with infected persons. The medication you have taken is correct but a proper regimen has to be followed for them to effect you properly.
A regular course of medications need to be taken for a period of at least 1.5 months for complete eradication of the infection.
Please do not hesitate to contact me personally for further queries.

The initial choice of treatment is a steroid ointment that is locally applied. (This can be suggested by a doctor after you are examined in person.)The ointment softens the foreskin and is applied for up to 6 weeks. When full retraction is possible the ointment is stopped.
If this treatment is unsuccessful, a circumcision (surgical removal of foreskin) may be advised.
